We've gotten to the final EGOT on the list! Jennifer Hudson is #17.
Diva: *Dreamgirls*
Mensch: *Baba Yaga*
Richard, my best friend Karen, and I saw the movie of *Dreamgirls* on the day after Christmas in 2006 at the sublime Ziegfeld movie theater. It was a grand old movie palace on West 54th Street - - 1,152 seats, and that night I think 85% of them were filled by gay men of a certain age and the women who love them, all anxious to see the movie of *Dreamgirls.* And I am telling you, when Jennifer Hudson finished her show-stopping number, you have never heard such applause and screaming in a movie theater, it was pande-freaking-monium. It felt like it went on for minutes. It definitely went into the next scene and no one seemed to be bothered.
And who knew that they have an Emmy for Interactive Media? Hudson was a producer for *Baba Yaga.* It looks kinda scary.
