Here's a very rare 2018 interview with Cara about becoming an entertainer at a very young age, becoming a star due to the movie Fame---she also co-wrote the song "Hot Lunch Jam" that she performed in the film---and she talks about why she ended up disappearing from the movie/music industry due to being blacklisted after she sued her record company for withholding royalties from her: https://www.songwriteruniverse.com/irene-cara-interview-2018.htm
