Winners of All Four Awards
To date, eleven artists have won all four awards in competitive categories. They are: actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg; composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, and Jonathan Tunick; director/screenwriter Mel Brooks; director Mike Nichols; and producer Scott Rudin. Of the eleven, two—Marvin Hamlisch and Richard Rodgers—have also won the Pulitzer Prize.
Three other performers, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones and Barbra Streisand, have also won all four awards, although one of the awards was non-competitive, i.e. special or honorary in nature (Streisand's Tony, Minnelli's Grammy, and Jones's Oscar).

Famous quotes containing the word winners:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
