Jennifer Hudson is celebrating her 44th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.
Popular singer-actress Jennifer Hudson (Black Nativity, Where You At, Spotlight, And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 44th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Hudson, a cultural icon
Born Jennifer Kate Hudson in Chicago on September 12, 1981, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Hudson's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Jennifer hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jennifer Hudson as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 44.
Happy Birthday, Jennifer, you're the best!
