Irene Cara is dead to me! Part 2

Looking at her old photos…she really was so lovely…

Still dead!

Did we ever get a cause of death?

no r3. The family has having an autopsy done.

Did you all see the video from her one time manager? He described Irene's leaving the reality disaster, "Gone Country" as her having had a meltdown on-camera. I saw that show and didn't think of it as a meltdown at all; she had signed on to do what she thought was a challenge between musicians of varied backgrounds (an American Idol winner, a guy from N-Sync, rocker Sebastian Bach, Jermaine Jackson, and Cara) and walks into a Big Brother house where Lorenzo Lamas and a drunk or manic Sean Young is going nuts. She took the competition seriously, thinking it would challenge her musically and found out she was on a musical version of Jersey Shore and walked out. She sounded totally fine--frustrated but fine--when she explained why she could not continue. I didn't think of that as meltdown at all. Now, her being hard to work with and having trouble getting out of her own way. . .I believe those stories. But Gone Country was a shitshow and she was in the right to walk out as it was not what it had been represented to be.

She briefly took over for Stephanie Mills in THE WIZ…they both were also in the play MAGGIE FLYNN with Shirley Jones.

The autopsy was completed earlier this week, yet the family has not released the results to the public yet. I'm surprised TMZ didn't get their hands on the results.

Recluses are smart people. They keep drama away!

I feel bad that she lived/died in Florida.

R9 yeah, she deserved better
