"FAME" was my High School of Music and Art ('81 Art Student Graduate).
Both M&A and Performing Arts had free passes for a Sneak Screening.
We were all CRAZY whenever we saw fellow students pop up on the screen.
The joke in those days among us Art Students was that WE need a film called "FRAME".
Bronx Girl Cara had the two of the Biggest Pop Anthems of The 80s.
R.I.P.

How did dude bounce back from that?
He was lucky it was an interdisciplinary course with 2 professors. The other professor rode out the rest of the class but he was the joke for the rest of the class.

I know I wasn’t the only Perv who first saw that scene hoping there was gonna be some nudity.
