Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I won two Oscars, two Tonys, one Grammy and one Emmy in my lifetime, but I started my EGOT status before most of the rest of them were even born, in 1932, when I won my first Oscar for Best Actress in "The Sin of Madelon Claudet". And no one is taking away my title of "First Lady of American Theatre". Who am I?
2. I won one each of the Oscars, Emmys, Tonys and Grammys, and also was given a Special Achievement Tony and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Oscar. But I bet the rest of you never had a humanoid robot designed after you like I did in 2016, probably because I was such a fashion icon in the 1950s and 1960s. Let's not forget my extensive work with UNICEF. Who am I?
3. One Oscar, four Emmys, one Grammy, and nine Tony Awards graced my mantel, mostly for directing. My first and my last EGOT awards were an amazing 51 years apart. That is a long career. I believe I am unique by being the first EGOT born in Germany. Can you "graduate" from this question by knowing my identity? I was actually born Mikhail Igor Peschkowsky. What did you know me as?
4. Sealing up a 2012 Tony Award for work on the musical "Newsies" put me into the EGOT Club. But my EGOT claim to fame is I was the first EGOT to win eight Oscars. I won all eight of my Oscars in four different years for four Disney movies. Who am I, who opened "A Whole New World" of EGOT winners with eight Oscars?
5. I won two Emmys and one each of the other three EGOT awards very early in my career (by 1977), starting my award winning in 1962 with an Oscar for "West Side Story". But who else in the EGOT club can say they were the first EGOT cast member of the iconic 1970's children's show "Electric Company"?
6. I have four Grammys and Emmys each, another three Oscars and a Tony, all from performing and arranging music and musical productions. With a career like that, I can safely I am the only one who had Liza Minnelli, Aretha Franklin, and Barbra Streisand perform at my memorial service, performing my signature compositions like "Nobody Does it Better", "If You Really Knew Me", and "The Way We Were". Who might I be?
7. Winning an Oscar for writing the song "Glory" from the movie "Selma", daytime and Primetime Emmys, a Tony Award for producing a play revival, and double digit Grammys? You can probably guess I'm a musician. But what sets me apart from the rest of these EGOT's is none of the rest of them married a "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit cover model. While I'm not Jesus Christ, I'm certainly a "Superstar". Who am I?
8. After an Oscar, one Emmy, and three Tonys early in my versatile career, I got my EGOT completed with a special Grammy Legend Award in 1990. But one thing sets me apart from the rest of the EGOT Club is I had a mother who was only one of the awards away from joining me in the same club. But she died before she saw my signature performance on "Cabaret". Who would I be?
9. I am the winner of three Tony Awards, and one each of the other three. I completed my EGOT in 1991. But I set a record that will be difficult to break, I completed my EGOT at the ripe old age of 87, before my death in 2000. Dudley Moore was wonderful to work with while earning my Oscar. Who am I?
10. With double digit EGOT awards I started winning in 1967, I did all right. But all of you are SO DOUR! None of you schmos can say you directed three movies in the 2000 list of AFI 100 Comedy Films of all time. All right, maybe...maybe you had a part in three of them, but not in the top fifteen! Who gives a Schmecken whether or not they are politically correct anymore. I'M not politically correct anymore! When you been on this Earth 2,000 years, you couldn't careless! Who am I?
11. I started my EGOT journey in 1986, won an Oscar along the way no one thought I had a "Ghost" of a chance of winning, and achieved EGOT level in 2002 with a Tony for behind the scenes work on "Thoroughly Modern Millie". One thing the rest of you can never say? I was the first African American to get the EGOT. Another, none of the rest can say they were the center square on Hollywood Squares. Who would I be?
12. Winning a Tony Award in 2016 made me the first EGOT winner with over 30 of the total awards, mostly Grammys. Another thing that separates me is I produced the biggest-selling, non-compilation record album of all time. So what's the A to this puzzling "Q"?
13. Beyond the earned EGOT, I was, for a time, the highest earning composer on the planet in the 1980s, having rewritten the catalog for most memorable Broadway plays. I joined the EGOT club at the same time as two others now in the club for the same television production. One thing the rest of the club probably can't say is that they ever owned a Picasso. I did until I sold it to benefit my own foundation. So "don't cry for me", I'm doing OK. Who am I?
14. With one Oscar for acting and one for music and a nice collection of the other three awards, the one thing of my EGOT I didn't earn was my Tony. I was granted a special Tony Award for for Star of the Decade in 1970. But with that special Tony, I became the youngest EGOT winner at the age of 28. And nobody else in the EGOT Club has eclipsed 50 certified Gold albums. Some find me a "funny" female, who am I?
15. An honorary Oscar in 2011, after I earned the other three prior, put me in the EGOT Club. But what separates me from the rest of this club? I made one million dollars for saying "This is CNN". No one else in the club can say that. Who am I?
