Long before landing the role of Effie in the film version of the legendary Broadway musical "Dreamgirls," Jennifer Hudson sang in a small Chicago church where week after week she brought the congregation to its feet with her soul-stirring performances.

Jennifer Hudson recently released her self-titled debut album that she recorded with Clive Davis for Arista records. Jennifer Hudson was also seen in the feature film adaptation of "Sex and the City," joining the hit television series' original cast of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristen Davis.

Jennifer Hudson starred in Fox Searchlight's "The Secret Life of Bees" opposite Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keys and Queen Latifah. Set in South Carolina in 1964, "The Secret Life of Bees" is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father, Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past.

Jennifer Hudson was also recently seen in Sony Classic's "Winged Creatures," the Rowan Woods directed adaptation of Roy Freirich's novel about a group of strangers who form a unique bond after surviving a random shooting. The film's remarkable cast also includes Forest Whitaker, Kate Beckinsale, Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce and Jackie Earle Haley.

Jennifer Hudson has received numerous awards and accolades for her breakout performance in "Dreamgirls," including the Academy Award, Golden Globe, SAG Award, BAFTA Award, NAACP Image Award and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award. Jennifer Hudson was also honored by the National Board of Review and was named "Entertainer of the Year" at the Soul Train Awards. In addition, Jennifer Hudson has recently received 3 nominations for the BET Awards including Best Actress, Best Female R&B Artist and Best New Artist.

Jennifer Hudson's talent blossomed as she appeared in dozens of talent shows and musical productions during her grammar and high school years. After her first professional role in a local production of "Big River," Jennifer Hudson showcased her four-octave range and charmed thousands of vacationers as a featured vocalist on the Disney Wonder cruise ship. In 2004, Jennifer Hudson wowed millions of television viewers during season three of the wildly popular FOX series "American Idol."

Jennifer Hudson attributes her vocal ability to her late maternal grandmother, Julia Kate Hudson, a long-time choir member.
