Forget about Fame, forget about the ending to Flashdance, forget about the Academy Award and the Grammys that came with it, Irene Cara is remembered for one particular piece of entertainment in Australia, back in the year 2006….

CARLTON DRAUGHT FLASHBEER.

I can only summise that CUB used their clout as a major sponsor and managed to help the AFL get Cara to Australia to perform Flashdance at the Grand Final that year, which remains of the better pre-game Grand Final performances by an American in the 21st Century, alongside Lionel Richie.

Irene Cara, what a loss for music….

And beer.
