Love both of these. If I was paying attention, then Catherine Zeta Jones and Effie White are the only women to have been honored with both a best supporting actress oscar and a best actress in a musical tony.

Effie White has never won any awards, as she is a character in a musical and not a real person.

henrikgerman meant Velma Kelly and Effie White are the only musical characters to win a Tony and an Oscar. There's also Sally Bowles, who won Liza the Best Actress Oscar and Natasha Richardson the Best Actress Tony.
For the record, I found the vids hilarious. I liked that he kept certain goofs, like when he hurt his arm on the dresser while doing Bernadette in Song and Dance. LOL!
hermajesty, pull that scepter out of your ass. It's just harmless fun.

Sally Bowles also won a Tony for Julie Harris in the pre-musical version, I Am A Camera.

Actually, no, I forgot about Velma. To recap, then: CZJ has won an oscar as best supporting actress and a tony as best musical actress. And twice two actresses have won these two awards for playing the the same character - CZJ and Bebe Newirth (Velma Kelly) and Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson (Effie White). Of course, you are right that two actresses have won, respectively, an oscar and a tony (both leading), for playing Sally Bowles. Apparently, no actress has ever won an oscar and a musical tony for playing the same role, whereas Rex Harrison (lead and lead) Yul Brynner (leading oscar and, bizarrely, featured tony) and Joel Grey (supporting oscar and featured tony) won oscars and musical tonys for playing the same role, and Alan Cumming also won a tony as best actor in a musical as MC as well.
but mc is not the only role to have garnered an oscar and two tonys. Here's a trivia question: one role has been awarded a best supporting actress oscar and a best featured actress in a musical tony twice.
And here's another trivia question: what role has been awarded a best actor oscar and a best musical actor tony, but the oscar was for a non-musical film?
Ok, on your start, get ready, go!

I thought of another one -- Anita from West Side Story. It won Rita Moreno the Oscar and Karen Olivo the Tony.
henrikegerman, you got me stumped. For the first one, I can only think of Marge from Promises, Promises. It won Marian Mercer and Katie Finneran the Tony for Featured Actress, but the actress in The Apartment was not nominated for an Oscar, much less won.

BTW: PalJoey, Julie Harris was pretty good in the film version of I Am a Camera. I had trepidations about her performance upon first watching it last year, but she actually pulled it off. I could kinda see where Liza might've derived some inspiration.

"Yes he's young and compliments to him, but it's not really 'talent' so to speak, he's just having fun..."
What are you complimenting him for and then, backhanding him with the no talent statement? I also would like to know what your definition of talent is in this context? I think you are very unkind to say things about this young man and possibly discourage him from develping his obvious raw talents. Shame on you!

I have a 'theory' that Tony performances re-write historys, and not to be all 'serious business' in the thread but to be clear (because it seems to be happening in this thread) CZJ did *not*, at least when I saw the show, perform "Send in the Clowns" like that. At the end of the song she melodramatically turned her head once. I think part of the reason the Tony performance didn't work is that she was by herself when she is normally used to singing to a person right next to her. For someone who doesn't have much experience I imagine it does make a difference. So it makes for funny parodies etc but we shouldn't dismiss her performance from the Tony performance....
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

henrikegerman:
1. Lila Kedrova is the only woman to win an Oscar and a Musical Tony for the same role (Madame Hortense in Zorba). She's also the only one to win the Oscar first.
2. Marge McDougall is the only role to win Featured Actress in a Musical more than once. As StageManager2 pointed out, Hope Holiday was not nominated for an Oscar for playing the role in The Apartment.
3. Jose Ferrer won his Oscar for Cyrano de Bergerac in 1950. Christopher Plummer won his first Tony for that role in the 1974 musical version.

Stage Manager2, actually you answered my first question without knowing it. Except my question was based on a mistake as I thought that Debbie Allen also won a tony as Anita. She didn't. So you are right, there was no role that won a best supporting actress oscar and two tonys.
Me bad.
Also theatreactor, thanks for adding the additional info re: Kedrova and the Cyrano boys.
But, while you answered my second question with your answer about Ferrer and Plummer (which I missed, yet another oversight - did I mention that me bad?), I had something else in mind.
Who won a best actor oscar and who else won a best musical actor tony for playing the same role (besides Ferrer and Plummer), the oscar winner in a non-musical film version, the tony winner in a musical that debuted some years later.
Hints: 1) based on an important 20th century novel, 2) oscar winner's co-star in the movie was a great film and theater actor who starred in two tony winning best musicals and was nominated for the tony as best actor in a musical four times (including for the two shows that won best musical) .

Debbie Allen certainly deserved a Tony for her Anita, so your mistake is quite understandable.
For the Oscar/Musical Tony Actors, I submit William Hurt and Brent Carver for Kiss of the Spider Woman.
