Winning an Academy Award (Oscar), an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award in their respective acting categories is known as winning the "Triple Crown" of acting awards; although it has also been accomplished by a set designer and a choreographer. Thirty-two (32) people have achieved this unusual accomplishment. The first person to do it was Thomas Mitchell. He won his first Emmy in 1953. He won his first Oscar in 1940, and he won his first Tony in 1953.
Other artists to accomplish this task are listed in chronological order.

The Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards are considered the four major entertainment awards in American show business. They are each presented annually, the awards honor outstanding achievements, respectively, in film, television, music, and theater. Winning all four awards has been called the Showbiz Award Grand Slam or EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).
The first person to accomplish this unusual achievement was Richard Rodgers (1902- 1979). He was an American composer of music for songs, Broadway musicals, films and television. He is best known for his songwriting partnerships with the lyricists Oscar Hammerstein II. His compositions have had a significant impact on popular music down to the present day, and have an enduring broad appeal.
He also won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1950 for South Pacific. Shared with Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan
On March 19, 1953, Shirley Booth won the 1952 Best Actress Oscar for her debut film performance in "Come Back, Little Sheba." Ten days later, on March 29, 1953, she won dramatic actress Tony for "The Time of the Cuckoo."

Composers Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch were the only people to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards, in addition to a Pulitzer Prize. Rodgers (1902-1979) was the first person ever to achieve EGOT status (winning the four entertainment awards) in 1962. He and his frequent collaborator Oscar Hammerstein II were awarded a special 1944 award for their musical "Oklahoma!"
Hamlisch (1944-2012) was acknowledged with a 1975 Pulitzer for his music for the Broadway musical ''A Chorus Line'' (shared with lyricist Edward Kleban, director Michael Bennett, and book writers James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante).
