She got her first job at age 13 at an ice cream store, using her height at the time ( she is now 5 ft 8 in ( 1.73 m ), to convince her boss she was 16. Beals was inspired to become an actress by two events : working on a high school production of Fiddler on the Roof and seeing Balm in Gilead with Joan Allen while volunteer - ushering at the Steppenwolf Theatre. Beals graduated from the progressive Francis W. Parker School. She also was chosen to attend the elite Goodman Theatre Young People 's Drama Workshop.

The third - highest grossing U.S. film of 1983, Flashdance is the story of 18 - year - old Alex, a welder by day and exotic dancer by night, whose dream is to be accepted someday at an illustrious school of dance. Beals was cast for this key role while still a student at Yale. She was nominated for a Golden Globe and the film received an Academy Award for Best Song. Many of Beals ' elaborate dance moves were actually performed by stunt double Marine Jahan. After she filmed Flashdance, Beals resumed her studies, making only one film during that time : playing the titular character The Bride with singer - actor Sting, a gothic horror film loosely based on the 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein, shot during her summer break. She also appeared in the `` Cinderella '' episode of Faerie Tale Theatre. Beals was asked by Joel Schumacher to do St. Elmo 's Fire but turned it down, preferring to stay at Yale.

Beals plays a biracial woman passing for white. That same year she appeared with Tim Roth in two segments of the four - story anthology Four Rooms, one of which was directed by her then - husband, Alexandre Rockwell.
