“Irene’s family has requested privacy as they process their grief.”

“She was a beautifully gifted soul whose legacy will live forever through her music and films.”

“Funeral services are pending and a memorial for her fans will be planned at a future date,” the statement continued.

“This is the absolute worst part of being a publicist,” Moose prefaced the statement.

“I can’t believe I’ve had to write this, let alone release the news. Please share your thoughts and memories of Irene.”

“I’ll be reading each and every one of them and know she’ll be smiling from Heaven. She adored her fans.”

Irene won an Oscar and a Grammy for the smash hit song “Flashdance… What a Feeling.”

Cara co-wrote the song from the hit 1983 movie Flashdance, and won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance as well as an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
