Triple Crown of Acting

January 25, 2023

The Triple Crown of Acting is a term used in the American entertainment industry[citation needed] to describe actors who have won a competitive Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Tony Award in the acting categories, the highest accolades recognized in American film, television, and theater, respectively. Its term is related to other competitive areas, such as the Triple Crown of horse racing.

As of 2022, only 24 people—15 women and nine men—have achieved the Triple Crown.

Helen Hayes became the first actor to do so with her Emmy Award on February 5, 1953. Less than two months later, Thomas Mitchell became the first man to do so when he received a Tony Award on March 29, 1953. Hayes and Rita Moreno are the only Triple Crown winners in competitive acting categories who have also won a Grammy Award to complete the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).

Living winners of the Triple Crown of Acting are Rita Moreno, Jeremy Irons, Vanessa Redgrave, Maggie Smith, Helen Mirren, Al Pacino, Frances McDormand, Jessica Lange, Geoffrey Rush, Ellen Burstyn, Glenda Jackson and Viola Davis.

The British entertainment industry which has long links with its American counterpart through shared language and frequent cross-Atlantic production, also has a Triple Crown of its own, consisting of the BAFTA Film Awards, the BAFTA Television Awards and the Laurence Olivier Awards.[citation needed] The eight actors who have completed the British Triple Crown in competitive acting categories are Judi Dench, Virginia McKenna, Peggy Ashcroft, Nigel Hawthorne, Albert Finney, Julie Walters, Helen Mirren, and Mark Rylance.

Only Helen Mirren has compiled both the American and British Triple Crowns.

British Triple Crown

Main article: Triple Crown (UK entertainment)

The British entertainment industry has a Triple Crown of its own, consisting of the BAFTA Film Awards, the BAFTA Television Awards and the Laurence Olivier Awards. Eight actors have completed the British Triple Crown: Judi Dench, Virginia McKenna, Peggy Ashcroft, Nigel Hawthorne, Albert Finney, Julie Walters, Helen Mirren, and Mark Rylance. Only Mirren has completed both the American and British Triple Crowns.

Other actors have won all of the awards, but not in competitive acting categories. Anthony Hopkins has BAFTAs in both categories but only an Olivier Award for "Outstanding Achievement" (he was nominated as Best Actor for the same show, but lost). Maggie Smith has several Film BAFTAs but only non-competitive awards for BAFTA Television and Olivier. There had been confusion about whether or not Ashcroft qualifies for the British Triple Crown in competitive categories because her winning the Actress of the Year in a New Play Olivier Award for Old World in the inaugural year of the Olivier Awards in 1976 had been overlooked.

Other winners include actors Alan Bennett and Kenneth Branagh, but some of their awards weren't for acting categories.
