Jennifer Hudson has become an EGOT winner.
The singer and actress won a Tony Award as a producer of “A Strange Loop,” which was named best musical on Sunday.
She is the 17th person to reach EGOT status in history. Hudson is the second Black woman (following Whoopi Goldberg) to win all four major awards — an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She also is the third Black person (after Goldberg and John Legend) and the fifth woman (after Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn and Goldberg) to join the elite club.
