In Alan Parker's 'Fame', teenagers selected for New York City's High School for the Performing
Arts push their talents to the limit to make it big in show business. This episodic tale follows
savvy Coco (Irene Cara), timid Doris (Maureen Teefy), gay Montgomery (Paul McCrane),
macho Raul (Barry Miller), soulful Bruno (Lee Curreri), and others as they struggle to achieve
their dreams of stardom while coping with the universal teenage problems of loneliness,
insecurity, and embattled, mercurial identity. Cara, electric as the budding songstress Coco,
shines brightest.
