Behind The Scenes of Fame Movie.

Go behind the scenes and learn what went on during the making of the 1980 Dance / Music movie starring Irene Cara, Lee Curreri, Laura Dean et al.

The original production title of "Fame" was "Hot Lunch"! But the title was changed because director Alan Parker heard of an adult film called "Hot Lunch", and decided that "Fame" was a more appropriate title.

Irene Cara Recalls about Director Alan Parker:

"Alan was very serious about being as real as possible.

A lot of the scenes were filmed when we didn't know the cameras were running so that he could capture a lot of our real, organic rapor with each other"
