FAME! We’re Gonna Live Forever! (part1)

FAME description for you:  Join us for part one of a two part episode devoted to the movie beloved by every theater nerd band geek and future solid gold dancer in the halls of your junior high school - the 1980 musical drama that made Irene Cara a household name, Fame (🎶 I'm gonna live forever!). We'll pay tribute to Ms. Cara and also give you a sneak peek into the making of this movie before diving into the story of eight students at New York City's High School of Performance Arts, an actual high school that counts some of today's biggest stars as alumni (wanna know which ones? We'll tell you!). We'll also tell you which Broadway musical inspired the story, which fashion icon made a cameo in the movie when he was just a teenager, and also what happened to Irene Cara's career anyway? Listen in to find out!
