List-Mania: Glenda Jackson & Lots of Triple-Crown Acting Trivia
Tuesday, June 12, 20
By Nathaniel R.
Since I’m on record as being annoyed that all anyone cares about is the EGOT it’s time to celebrate our preferred obsession: The Triple Crown of Acting. That’s when a performer manages the Emmy, Oscar, and Tony for acting. To date only 24* actors have accomplished this, with Glenda Jackson being the most recent recipient as of this past Sunday night at the Tony Awards. Triple Crowns have become much more commonplace in the 21st century since actors move much more fluidly through the three mediums than they did in before the turn of the century. TV has totally lost its stigma for movie stars and Broadway is more welcome to very short runs freeing major stars up to continue with their movie and TV careers without as much scheduling trauma. A TRUCKLOAD OF TRIVIA AFTER THE JUMP…
ALL THE TRIPLE CROWNERS
Note: We use film years for Oscar so don’t try to correct us on dates — Emmy and Tony don’t run on January to December calendar so the dates coincide with the ceremony!
Jack Albertson (Tony: 65, Oscar: 68, Emmy: 75)
Anne Bancroft (Tony: 58, Oscar: 62, Emmy: 99)
Ingrid Bergman (Oscar: 44, Tony: 47, Emmy: 60)
Ingrid is the youngest to complete the triple -she did it by 45 years of age.
Shirley Booth (Tony: 49, Oscar: 52, Emmy: 62)
Ellen Burstyn (Oscar: 74, Tony: 77, Emmy: 09)
Viola Davis (Tony: 01, Emmy: 15, Oscar: 16)
Melvyn Douglas (Tony: 60, Oscar: 63, Emmy: 68)
Did you know that this Hud star was Illeanna Douglas’s grandfather? I certainly didn’t.
Helen Hayes (Oscar: 31, Tony 47, Emmy: 53)
IMDb does not state what her Emmy was for so who knows if she’s a special case or not. We recently discussed her second Oscar win in Airport.
Jeremy Irons (Tony: 84, Oscar: 90, Emmy: 97)
Glenda Jackson (Oscar: 70, Emmy: 72, Tony: 18)
The oldest triple crowner and also the one who took by far the longest to complete it –it took her almost half a century!
Jessica Lange (Oscar: 82, Emmy: 09, Tony: 16)
Frances McDormand (Oscar: 96, Tony: 11, Emmy: 15)
Helen Mirren (Emmy: 96, Oscar: 06, Tony: 15)
And yes she won all three for playing Queens named Elizabeth! Though she has multiple Emmys so she’s won for other roles, too.
Thomas Mitchell (Oscar: 39, Tony: 53, Emmy: 53)
Rita Moreno (Oscar: 61, Tony: 75, Emmy: 77)
The second youngest to the Triple. She was 46 when she completed it with the Emmy for The Muppet Show. She was also the first person of color to complete the triple.
Al Pacino (Tony: 69, Oscar: 92, Emmy: 04)
Christopher Plummer (Tony: 74, Emmy: 77, Oscar: 11)
Vanessa Redgrave (Oscar: 77, Emmy: 81, Tony: 03)
Jason Robards (Tony: 59, Oscar: 76, Emmy: 88)
Geoffrey Rush (Oscar: 96, Emmy: 05, Tony: 09)
Paul Scofield (Tony: 62, Oscar: 66, Emmy: 69)
The youngest male to Triple. He was 47 when he completed it with the Emmy for Male of the Species
Maggie Smith (Oscar: 69, Tony: 90, Emmy: 03)
Maureen Stapleton (Tony: 51, Emmy: 68, Oscar: 81)
Jessica Tandy (Tony: 78, Emmy: 88, Oscar: 89)
Weird Statistic
The Emmy, which seems like the easiest to win since they have so many categories, is actually won last by the majority of Triple Crowners! How about that?
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL JOIN THE LIST NEXT?Only missing the Oscar which is obviously the hardest to win!:
(number of Oscar nominations acting only in parentheses)
Jane Alexander (4), Mary Alice (0), Christine Baranski (0), Ellen Barkin (0), Stockard Channing (1), Kristin Chenowith (0), Glenn Close (6), Bryan Cranston (1), Tyne Daly (0), Blythe Danner (0), Dick Van Dyke (0), Laurence Fishburne (1), Neil Patrick Harris (0), Rosemary Harris (1), George Hearn (0), Judd Hirsch (1), Hal Holbrook (1), Cherry Jones (0), Shirley Knight (2), Swoosie Kurtz (0), Anthony LaPaglia (0), John Larroquette (0), Ron Leibman (0), John Lithgow (2), Laurie Metcalf (1), Debra Monk (0), Michael Moriarty (0), Bebe Neuwirth (0), Cynthia Nixon (0), Mary-Louise Parker (0), Mandy Patinkin (0), David Hyde Pierce (0), Amanda Plummer (0), Diana Rigg (0), Tony Shalhoub (0), Cicely Tyson (1), and Jeffrey Wright (0)
Only missing the Tony:
(number of Tony nominations in parentheses. If they haven’t done any theater in New York in the last 25 years they have an x after the parentheses… the people with an x will never triple crown because they never do Broadway or stopped doing it after becoming famous or retired from acting or whatnot)
Patricia Arquette (0)x, Kathy Bates (1)x, Halle Berry (0)x, Michael Douglas (0)x, Faye Dunaway (0)x, Sally Field (1), Jane Fonda (2), Louis Gossett Jr (0), Anne Hathaway (0), Dustin Hoffman (1), Anthony Hopkins (0)x, Helen Hunt (0), Holly Hunter (0), Allison Janney (2), Tommy Lee Jones (0)x, Nicole Kidman (0), Cloris Leachman (0)x, Melissa Leo (0), Julianne Moore (0), Gwyneth Paltrow (0)x, Eva Marie Saint (0)x, Meryl Streep (1), Dame Emma Thompson (0)x, Dianne Wiest (0), Kate Winslet (0)x, and Joanne Woodward (0)x
Only missing the Emmy:
(number of Emmy acting only nominations in parentheses)
Dame Judi Dench (3), Joel Grey (1), Marcia Gay Harden (2), Kevin Kline (2), Eddie Redmayne (0), Mercedes Ruehl (0), Mark Rylance (1), Kevin Spacey (6), Denzel Washington (0), and Catherine Zeta-Jones (0)
NOTE: Anne Hathaway (35) and Eddie Redmayne (36) will break the “youngest to a triple crown” record if they manage to win their last of the big three prizes in the next nine years.
DEPRESSING THREE MEDIUM STATS
Annette Bening and Sigourney Weaver are the only living female performers with nominations in all three fields of acting without ever winning ANY of them. ARGH! On the male side of the equation the same is true of Mark Ruffalo and Ed Harris. Shaking my damn head! (Kathleen Turner and Jude Law are almost in a similar boat having delivered stellar work in all three mediums with only 1 measly Oscar nomination and 2 Tony nominations to show for it in Turner’s case, and 2 measly Oscar nominations and 2 Tony nominations in Jude’s case. It still horrifies us that Turner didn’t get at least an Emmy nomination for her indelible work on Friends as Chandler’s dad.)
Naturally those are some of our very favorite actors. The ‘business we call show‘ loves to torture us!
Sarah Paulson, Patricia Clarkson, Mare Winningham, The Lovely Laura Linney, Marisa Tomei, Martha Plimpton and Joan Allen — a seismic group of women as far as talent goes — all work all three mediums regularly but only have the Emmy or the Oscar of the three key prizes.
TONY-WIN ONLY THOUGH THEY DO NOTABLE TV/FILM WORK
Multiple Tonys and Other Showbiz Nominations
Matthew Broderick (2 Tonys, 1 Emmy nomination), Brian Dennehy (2 Tonys and 6 Emmy nominations), Judith Ivey (2 Tonys and 1 Emmy nomination), Nathan Lane (3 Tonys, 6 Emmy nominations), Frank Langella (4 Tonys, 1 Oscar nomination, 1 Emmy nomination), Angela Lansbury (5 Tonys, 3 Oscar nominations and 1 Honorary Oscar, 18 Emmy nominations), Judith Light (2 Tonys, 3 Emmy nominations), Patti LuPone (2 Tonys and 1 Emmy nomination), and Bernadette Peters (2 Tonys and 2 Emmy nominations)
Single Tonys and Other Showbiz Nominations
Joan Allen (Tony + 3 Oscar nominations, 2 Emmy nominations), Blair Brown (1 Tony and 5 Emmy nominations), Diahann Carroll (Tony + 4 Emmy nominations and 1 Oscar nomination), Stephen Dillane (Tony + 1 Emmy nomination), Andrew Garfield (Tony + 1 Oscar nomination) John Benjamin Hickey (Tony + 1 Emmy nomination) Sir Ian Holm (Tony + 1 Oscar nomination, 2 Emmy nominations), Jane Krakowski (Tony + 5 Emmy nominations), Sir Ian McKellen (Tony + 2 Oscar nominations, 5 Emmy nominations), Janet McTeer (Tony + 2 Oscar nominations, 1 Emmy nomination), Brían F O’Byrne (Tony + 1 Emmy nomination), Denis O’Hare (Tony+ and 3 Emmy nominations), Sophie Okonedo (Tony + 1 Oscar nomination), Phylicia Rashad (Tony + 3 Emmy nominations), Liev Schreiber (Tony + 6 Emmy nominations), and B.D. Wong (Tony + 1 Emmy nomination).
When is Sutton Foster going to be Emmy nominated? She’s already deserved nominations for two separate series: Bunheads and Younger.

Lifetime’s ‘Beaches’ is One More Remake Better Left Alone
It must be cold there in the shadow of the 1988 classic.
Film | By Lara Zarum | January 19, 2017
Say what you want about Beaches, but that movie is nothing if not juicy, an overripe peach oozing with the drama of a decades-long friendship between two very different women. This is, after all, the movie that gave us Bette Midler’s soaring rendition of “Wind Beneath My Wings.” So it’s doubly disappointing that Lifetime’s remake of the beloved 1988 weepy, which stars Idina Menzel and Nia Long and airs on Saturday, is so dry. Like Fox’s recent reboot of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Lifetime’s Beaches turns out to be nostalgia-baiting waste of talent and resources, a freeze-dried remake that’ll leave you wistful for the fresh taste of the original.
Beaches begins with a glimmer of hope: A shot of best friends Cecelia “C.C.” Bloom (Menzel) and Hillary Whitney (Long) wearing opulent straw hats and drinking wine while gazing at the ocean from the porch of a beachfront house. Surely this film will provide at least an evening’s worth of entertainment for a gaggle of your favorite drinking buddies. But the movie stumbles from the word go, from the pair’s initial meeting in Atlantic City as 11-year-old girls to that final trip to the beach house, when the spunky girls have grown into complicated women — one of whom is on the verge of death. (I told you this shit was juicy.)
Or at least that’s how it went down in the original Beaches, which relied heavily on the charms of its stars, Barbara Hershey and Bette Midler (not to discount its director, Garry Marshall). Hershey played Hillary, the less colorful half of the duo, who is born into a WASP-y family and dutifully becomes a lawyer when she grows up. Midler was the original C.C. (The Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik played the younger version), a carrot-topped, Broadway-bound narcissist. They’re cat and dog, yin-and-yang, oil and water, and yet they’re best friends 4 lyfe, sustaining their relationship through letters that conveniently act as exposition throughout the movie.
The letter motif is just one way the remake replicates the original Beaches wholesale while simultaneously diluting what made the 1988 movie such a lasting hit. Very little of significance is changed here, and the biggest difference — the casting of a black woman in the role of Hillary — barely registers. While the Lifetime movie shifts the main action from New York City to L.A., it filches the set design of C.C.’s scrappy Manhattan apartment, complete with its cut-out window decorated with Christmas lights, and certain scenes are lifted word for word. Others are added or removed, which results in a disjointed film that keeps randomly picking up and then dropping emotional and plot arcs.
But worst of all is the total lack of chemistry between Menzel and Long, who don’t so much come off as best friends than as two women forced to work on a Lifetime movie of which they’re slightly embarrassed and anxious to be done with. What really baffles is that these rather solid actors turn in two of the worst performances I’ve seen in ages. Despite the “opposites attract” message at the center of the film, both actors do such bland, robotic work that the characters are barely distinguishable. Long in particular is stiff as a board; she does a lot of inane giggling, and her voiceover narration is so wooden you can practically see her reading the words off a script.
The problem goes back to C.C. and Hillary’s initial meeting, which the Lifetime version truncates. In the original, those scenes of the two young girls meeting in Atlantic City — sneaking away from their parents and hiding under the boardwalk, and posing for pictures in a photo booth on the pier — neatly establish the unlikely friendship between these two, and they make a convincing case that despite the brevity of their first meeting, their relationship will last well into adulthood. You believe these two women will lean on each other throughout their lives, that they’ll give each other what they lack in themselves — a modicum of reason, in C.C.’s case, and in Hillary’s, a pop of vividness.
But Lifetime’s Beaches substitutes an assumed familiarity with the original movie for actual character development, and it’s totally devoid of any sense of place or time. Until someone mentions the locale, I didn’t even realize the movie was set in L.A. There’s practically no attempt made to adjust the actors’ appearances to account for the roughly two decades of their lives the movie encompasses, and even less effort to depict the earlier scenes as taking place in the past. From start to finish, Lifetime’s Beaches proceeds as if everything is as it always was, from C.C. and Hillary’s friendship to their hairstyles. The film lumbers forward like a nostalgia zombie mindlessly ticking off boxes — as if the concept of this remake were more important than the thing itself. And maybe it is.
Beaches airs Saturday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.

There’s a lot of talk about the rising profile of women directors this season, with Jodie Foster’s “ Little Man Tate,†Mary Agnes Donoghue’s “ Paradise†and Martha Coolidge’s “ Rambling Rose†in theaters now, and BarbraStreisand’s “ The Prince of Tides†due out in December.
But what about leading roles for women? The outlook isn’t particularly plentiful from the more than 75 movies due to open before the end of the year.
Only two female roles between now and Dec. 31 command automatic attention:
• The New York psychiatrist in “ The Prince of Tides†played by Streisand.
• And the USO entertainer played by Bette Midler in “ For the Boys,†a dramatic movie with songs in which Midler sings, dances and jokes.
Some possible contenders:
• Annette Bening has abovethe-title billing in “ Bugsy,†opposite Warren Beatty, but even her closest associates say they haven’t yet seen the film, which is due in late December.
• This year’s women’s ensemble film is “Fried Green Tomatoes,†due out just in time for Oscar consideration. But two of 2 its stars are recent best actress • Oscar winners: 1990’s Kathy • Bates and 1989’s Jessica Tandy.
• Nicole Kidman has virtually * the only woman’s role in Touchstone Pictures’ “ Billy Bathgate,†starring Dustin Hoffman.
• The oft-nominated Glenn Close in “ Meeting Venus” and Isabelle Huppert in the French- produced “ Madame Bovary.â€
Plus it will be difficult to overlook the splashy roles played by^ Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in “ Thelma & Louise.†And, of course, there’s Foster’s performance in the current “ Little Man Tate,†but that competes * with her “ Silence of the Lambs†• role earlier this vear.

Weird Statistic
The Emmy, which seems like the easiest to win since they have so many categories, is actually won last by the majority of Triple Crowners! How about that?
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL JOIN THE LIST NEXT?
Only missing the Oscar which is obviously the hardest to win!:

NOTE: Anne Hathaway (35) and Eddie Redmayne (36) will break the “youngest to a triple crown” record if they manage to win their last of the big three prizes in the next nine years.
DEPRESSING THREE MEDIUM STATS
Annette Bening and Sigourney Weaver are the only living female performers with nominations in all three fields of acting without ever winning ANY of them. ARGH! On the male side of the equation the same is true of Mark Ruffalo and Ed Harris. Shaking my damn head! (Kathleen Turner and Jude Law are almost in a similar boat having delivered stellar work in all three mediums with only 1 measly Oscar nomination and 2 Tony nominations to show for it in Turner’s case, and 2 measly Oscar nominations and 2 Tony nominations in Jude’s case. It still horrifies us that Turner didn’t get at least an Emmy nomination for her indelible work on Friends as Chandler’s dad.)
Naturally those are some of our very favorite actors. The ‘business we call show‘ loves to torture us!
Sarah Paulson, Patricia Clarkson, Mare Winningham, The Lovely Laura Linney, Marisa Tomei, Martha Plimpton and Joan Allen — a seismic group of women as far as talent goes — all work all three mediums regularly but only have the Emmy or the Oscar of the three key prizes.

Say what you want about Beaches, but that movie is nothing if not juicy, an overripe peach oozing with the drama of a decades-long friendship between two very different women. This is, after all, the movie that gave us Bette Midler’s soaring rendition of “Wind Beneath My Wings.” So it’s doubly disappointing that Lifetime’s remake of the beloved 1988 weepy, which stars Idina Menzel and Nia Long and airs on Saturday, is so dry. Like Fox’s recent reboot of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Lifetime’s Beaches turns out to be nostalgia-baiting waste of talent and resources, a freeze-dried remake that’ll leave you wistful for the fresh taste of the original.
Beaches begins with a glimmer of hope: A shot of best friends Cecelia “C.C.” Bloom (Menzel) and Hillary Whitney (Long) wearing opulent straw hats and drinking wine while gazing at the ocean from the porch of a beachfront house. Surely this film will provide at least an evening’s worth of entertainment for a gaggle of your favorite drinking buddies. But the movie stumbles from the word go, from the pair’s initial meeting in Atlantic City as 11-year-old girls to that final trip to the beach house, when the spunky girls have grown into complicated women — one of whom is on the verge of death. (I told you this shit was juicy.)
Or at least that’s how it went down in the original Beaches, which relied heavily on the charms of its stars, Barbara Hershey and Bette Midler (not to discount its director, Garry Marshall). Hershey played Hillary, the less colorful half of the duo, who is born into a WASP-y family and dutifully becomes a lawyer when she grows up. Midler was the original C.C. (The Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik played the younger version), a carrot-topped, Broadway-bound narcissist. They’re cat and dog, yin-and-yang, oil and water, and yet they’re best friends 4 lyfe, sustaining their relationship through letters that conveniently act as exposition throughout the movie.
The letter motif is just one way the remake replicates the original Beaches wholesale while simultaneously diluting what made the 1988 movie such a lasting hit. Very little of significance is changed here, and the biggest difference — the casting of a black woman in the role of Hillary — barely registers. While the Lifetime movie shifts the main action from New York City to L.A., it filches the set design of C.C.’s scrappy Manhattan apartment, complete with its cut-out window decorated with Christmas lights, and certain scenes are lifted word for word. Others are added or removed, which results in a disjointed film that keeps randomly picking up and then dropping emotional and plot arcs.
But worst of all is the total lack of chemistry between Menzel and Long, who don’t so much come off as best friends than as two women forced to work on a Lifetime movie of which they’re slightly embarrassed and anxious to be done with. What really baffles is that these rather solid actors turn in two of the worst performances I’ve seen in ages. Despite the “opposites attract” message at the center of the film, both actors do such bland, robotic work that the characters are barely distinguishable. Long in particular is stiff as a board; she does a lot of inane giggling, and her voiceover narration is so wooden you can practically see her reading the words off a script.
The problem goes back to C.C. and Hillary’s initial meeting, which the Lifetime version truncates. In the original, those scenes of the two young girls meeting in Atlantic City — sneaking away from their parents and hiding under the boardwalk, and posing for pictures in a photo booth on the pier — neatly establish the unlikely friendship between these two, and they make a convincing case that despite the brevity of their first meeting, their relationship will last well into adulthood. You believe these two women will lean on each other throughout their lives, that they’ll give each other what they lack in themselves — a modicum of reason, in C.C.’s case, and in Hillary’s, a pop of vividness.
But Lifetime’s Beaches substitutes an assumed familiarity with the original movie for actual character development, and it’s totally devoid of any sense of place or time. Until someone mentions the locale, I didn’t even realize the movie was set in L.A. There’s practically no attempt made to adjust the actors’ appearances to account for the roughly two decades of their lives the movie encompasses, and even less effort to depict the earlier scenes as taking place in the past. From start to finish, Lifetime’s Beaches proceeds as if everything is as it always was, from C.C. and Hillary’s friendship to their hairstyles. The film lumbers forward like a nostalgia zombie mindlessly ticking off boxes — as if the concept of this remake were more important than the thing itself. And maybe it is.
Beaches airs Saturday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
For many actors and actresses, winning the coveted Academy Award is a major Hollywood milestone.
But for these 11 stars — including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Amy Adams, Bette Midler and more! — winning an Oscar is unfortunately a career checkmark they’re still working on, despite having been nominated several times!
Johnny Depp
The Dark Shadows actor, 52, has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role on three different occasions for his performances in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Finding Neverland and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, though he has not yet won the honor.

There’s a lot of talk about the rising profile of women directors this season, with Jodie Foster’s “ Little Man Tate,†Mary Agnes Donoghue’s “ Paradise†and Martha Coolidge’s “ Rambling Rose†in theaters now, and BarbraStreisand’s “ The Prince of Tides†due out in December.
But what about leading roles for women? The outlook isn’t particularly plentiful from the more than 75 movies due to open before the end of the year.
Only two female roles between now and Dec. 31 command automatic attention:
• The New York psychiatrist in “ The Prince of Tides†played by Streisand.
• And the USO entertainer played by Bette Midler in “ For the Boys,†a dramatic movie with songs in which Midler sings, dances and jokes.
Some possible contenders:
• Annette Bening has abovethe-title billing in “ Bugsy,†opposite Warren Beatty, but even her closest associates say they haven’t yet seen the film, which is due in late December.
• This year’s women’s ensemble film is “Fried Green Tomatoes,†due out just in time for Oscar consideration. But two of 2 its stars are recent best actress • Oscar winners: 1990’s Kathy • Bates and 1989’s Jessica Tandy.
• Nicole Kidman has virtually * the only woman’s role in Touchstone Pictures’ “ Billy Bathgate,†starring Dustin Hoffman.
• The oft-nominated Glenn Close in “ Meeting Venus” and Isabelle Huppert in the French- produced “ Madame Bovary.â€
Plus it will be difficult to overlook the splashy roles played by^ Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in “ Thelma & Louise.†And, of course, there’s Foster’s performance in the current “ Little Man Tate,†but that competes * with her “ Silence of the Lambs†• role earlier this vear.
