Meet the man who impersonated Jennifer Beals in ‘Flashdance’
Remember the scene at the end of “Flashdance” where Jennifer Beals’ leotard suddenly develops a curious bulge in a particularly intimate area? Richard “Crazy Legs” Colón does, because it was his junk that had the unexpected cameo.
The wildly successful 1983 romantic drama, set in Pittsburgh, features Beals as a welder by day, dancer by night. For the movie’s final scene, her character, Alex Owens, performs a complicated routine featuring a break dancing move called the whip backspin, which entails spinning continuously on her back, with her legs tucked in to her chest. It was so difficult that neither one of Beals’ body doubles could do it, so producers called on the then-16-year-old Colón, who, alongside his break dancing group the Rock Steady Crew, had already made a short appearance in the movie.
He donned a wig, shaved his peach-fuzz moustache, squeezed into a leotard (no taping or tucking) and stepped to the beat.

Marine Jahan
French actress and dancer (born 1959)
Marine Jahan (French:[ma.ʁinʒa.ɑ̃]; born January 1, 1959, in Versailles, France) is a French actress and dancer.
Career
[edit]In the United States, she is known for dancing as one of the body-doubles for Jennifer Beals in the 1983 film Flashdance.[1][2]
At the time of the film's release, Jahan's role raised controversy for several reasons. Beals was a relatively unknown actress before Flashdance, and throughout the film, close-ups purported to be Beals' body were actually of Jahan.
However, Jahan's contribution was not listed in the film's opening or ending credits, and because the film was a hit by the time the truth of her participation became known, viewers felt deceived to learn they were watching Jahan's dancing and bicycle riding, not Beals'.[3] Simpson and Bruckheimer, producers of the film, first claimed they weren't attempting to conceal the use of the pair of doubles, then claimed Jahan was not credited because Paramount Pictures "...shortened the closing credits...".[4]
In 1984, Jahan appeared as a dancer in "Torchie's" bar in Streets of Fire.
In 1985, she worked for Italian broadcast RAI at the show Il tastomatto.
In 1987, Jahan was the feat
