Congratulations to 1999 graduate Colleen Dunnegan who recently won an Emmy!
Two weeks ago, her production team for Harpo was honored at the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards with a Daytime Emmy win for their special "Oprah and The Color Purple Journey" in the category for the Arts and Popular Culture Program. Ms. Dunnegan is a Supervising Producer for Harpo Productions and Senior Producer for OWN.
“This wouldn't have been possible without the support of my loving family and the incredible teachers in DeWitt - from my time at Ekstrand through Central High School,” Dunnegan said.
This Max Original Documentary Special provides a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the new feature film “The Color Purple,” a bold new take on the classic, and the impact the story has had on our culture. Oprah Winfrey takes viewers inside the four-decade phenomenon, exploring the importance of the novel, films and musical, and the ever-evolving conversation around this seminal work. The program is available to watch on @streamonmax.
What an incredible achievement! We love to see our graduates accomplishing great things and celebrating their success! Congratulations again, Ms. Dunnegan!
