[edit] "However, Ms. Cara has never voted or registered to do so in Florida"

Is there a valid source for this statement? Her official response (via publicist) was "But she is adamant she was born in 1964. I can't explain the voting record, and there's no way she wants to talk about it."[1] --Fallout boy 06:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

There is NO way she was born in 1964, that would make her 12 years old when she made Sparkle and 15 when she did Fame.Hilljayne 23:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No mention of Sparkle?

This is pretty much what put her on the map. Hilljayne 23:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Escalera or Carattini?

I see that her real name is supposedly Irene Escalera. I remeber someone in Puerto Rico who claimed to be her father and his surname was Carattini, which is closer to "Cara" than Escalera. Just wondering! Pr4ever 21:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish songs of Irene Cara

Folks, does anyone have a Spanish songs of Irene Cara because she speaks Spanish? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.178.88 (talk) 14:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not Afro-Puerto Rican

Afro-Puerto Ricans are black persons from Puerto Rico, not children of persons of United States black (African-American) descent who marry Puerto Rican people. Cara does not belong in this category; Cheo Feliciano and Rafael Ithier belong in that category. I am adjusting this to reflect the correction. --Noopinonada (talk) 03:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
