Later, Irene co-wrote and sang Flashdance… What A Feeling for the soundtrack of the 1983 film Flashdance, along with Giorgio Moroder and Keith Forsey. She won best female pop vocal performance and best album of original score written for a motion picture or a television special at the 26th annual Grammy Awards in 1984. Irene then scored best original song at the 1983 Oscars. She also starred in other projects over the years, including Sparkle, City Heat, and Certain Fury.
