Along with Allen, Lee Curreri, who played Bruno in Fame, expressed his grief with a touching black-and-white photo of Cara along with a red heart emoji on his Instagram account.
What’s so special about Irene Cara? Replying to Curreri’s post, one IG user summed it up perfectly, writing, “She was the soundtrack of my childhood.”
Other celebrities offered their thoughts as well, including actor John Leguizamo, who commented on her importance as an inspiration to the Latin community.
Cara’s cause of death has not yet been released. Her publicist, Judith A. Moose, said in a statement that a fan memorial would be announced later.
