Obst began as an associate producer ofFlashdance.
Hudson was reluctant, but felt the power when the audience laughed.
The second the raucus laughter started to happen she just looked at me: Do you hear that?
As women do, we discuss our work as much as we do our children, Hudson said.
There are just certain people you feel like should live forever.
