Oscar Emmy Tony

Posted: 9/29/04 at 10:02am

Al Pacino with his recent Emmy win for Angels in America, is now on this comparatively short list of actors who have won in competition an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony. There are only about 15-20 total.

Who else?

Shirley Booth
Melvyn Douglas
Liza
Fredric March?
Olivier?
Rita Moreno
Maureen Stapleton

You forgot the first one- Barbra Streisand.

(And to those who say that since her Tony wasn't a competetive one, Rita Moreno holds the record - that's nitpicking.)

At the risk of picking nits (but it is my question),
I asked for "in competition" thusly ruling La Streisand and probably several others out. Fosse is a director and Brooks a writer.

Actors or actresses.

This could be the trivia question of the season.

Or maybe not.

Well, I think Rita Moreno one-ups it a notch even more because she also has a Grammy...

And to pick your nits right back, Brooks is in fact an actor. His Emmy win was for his work on MAD ABOUT YOU (was that the name of that show?)

You asked for actors who've won all three...but didn't specify that they had to win for acting.

While I am certainly not one to pick... I believe that Liza has the Grammy Legend Award - however she does not have a competetive Grammy win.

She does have the Oscar, Golden Globe and holds the record as the youngest actress to win the Best Actress in a Musical Tony.

To the topic at hand:
Actors for acting. Robbiej, I have been reading your posts for over a year. You're quite bright. You know what I meant.

Audrey Hepburn won an Emmy? Oh dear. Slumming. For what? I'm serious.
Helen Hayes, of course
Gielgud, I wasn't sure

[And the story goes, Bette Midler won two Golden Globes for The Rose, Best Actress, Comedy or Musical and Best Female Newcomer. When she won the second one she sashayed up to the stage and said, "As Joan Crawford once said, 'I'll show you a pair of Golden Globes.'"]

Yes. I'm quite bright. Thanks for noticing!

And I did qualify my answer regarding Mr. Brooks.

You, of course, decided to pick the nits. And as monkeys certainly no, it's no fun to pick nits alone!

Daisy Eagan is indeed, the youngest actress to ever win a Tony, however, she won in the Featured Actress/Musical category. Liza is still the youngest in the Lead Actress/musical category.

Frankie Michaels (as Young patrick in Mame) is the Youngest person to ever win a Tony Award (at age 10).
