Celebrity tributes poured in Saturday night for singer and actress Irene Cara, who was found dead in her Florida home at the age of just 63.
Cara, who won an Oscar in 1984 for the theme song from Flashdance, received a particularly touching homage from the movie’s star Jennifer Beals.
Beals posted a throwback shot of herself standing arm in arm with Cara at the 1984 Academy Awards as the songstress triumphantly held up her trophy.
