I knew that she gave that speech for the second Oscar that she won, and it wasn't "Norma Rae". Had to be C.

And Meredith chastised them for doing so, as she should.

I'd have done the same thing - for some reason the association between that speech and "Norma Rae", however mistaken, is a strong one for me, so I'd have crashed and burned.

so far so good

Here's an article about Kathy's appearance.

Rosenberg's love of "Millionaire" started a few years ago, but really piqued when she decided to write away for tickets in summer 2006 and take a solo venture up to New York City to watch a taping. She showed up early enough that she could audition to be on the show, taking a 30-question qualifying test with 200 other contestant-hopefuls. At that time, only six people passed the test and Rosenberg wasn't one - a failure she saw as a challenge.
In July 2007, Rosenberg headed up again, just before her 50th birthday with the goal of passing the test.
"I didn't even care if I made it on the show," said Rosenberg. "I just wanted to pass that test."
She was one of 12 who passed that round, was interviewed by a producer later that day and was called a couple weeks later to be informed she would be on the show for a Sept. 11 taping.
