The film, and the original Broadway musical, are based heavily on The Supremes (later known as "Diana Ross & The Supremes"). Curtis Taylor, Jr. represents Motown Founder Berry Gordy. Both men worked in the automotive industry before focusing on music, and integrated aspects of the automotive business into the music making process. Both were romantically involved with the lead singer of their label's most successful female group. Effie's departure from the group closely matches Florence Ballard, whose voice was much more powerful than Ross's.
Jennifer Hudson beat out 782 other actresses for the role of Effie White, including her former American Idol (2002) rival, Fantasia Barrino.
Screenwriter and director Bill Condon instructed Jennifer Hudson to show up late on the set every day, to better understand Effie's diva behavior.
Jamie Foxx initially declined to play Curtis Taylor, Jr. because the salary offered was insufficient. Denzel Washington was offered the part after Foxx, but declined because he can't sing. Once Beyoncé and Eddie Murphy were attached to the production, Foxx rethought his decision and accepted the role.
Jennifer Hudson gained 20 pounds to play the role of Effie White.
"Curtis Taylor Jr.: Who was the first artist to sing "Hound Dog"? C.C. White: Elvis Presley. Curtis Taylor Jr.: Big Mama Thorton. She had the number-one single on the R&B charts, but the white stations wouldn't play it, because to them it was just another race record."
"Lorrell Robinson: You got the same wig I got? Effie Melody White: Yeah. Lorrell Robinson: You got same the same dress I got? Effie Melody White: Yeah. Lorrell Robinson: [Drags it out] Then shut up!"
