Poll: Triple Crown of Acting Winners - Who Is Your Favorite
Below, according to Wikipedia: Triple Crown of Acting Article, each of these actors and actresses, as of July 2022, have won either the American Triple Crown of acting (the Oscar, the Tony, and the Emmy) or the British Triple Crown of Acting (the BAFTA Film Awards, the BAFTA Television Awards and the Laurence Olivier Awards) for acting in competitive acting categories and not for an honorary award or such. Which one is your favorite?
Fun facts: The first ones to complete a triple crown for America or UK/Britain were actresses. Only one actress completed multiple triple crowns in her own home country (3 times). The fastest to complete the American triple crown was an English actor. He took seven years to do it. One actress (British) won both the American and British Triple Crowns. Most of the ones who won the British Triple Crown are missing one award needed to get the American also. The list of those who need one of the awards needed to get the American triple crown is surprising and impressive. The triple crown they won will be marked with an A for American or B for British.
To talk about this list or to suggest more triple crown winners, in case Wikipedia needs to updated, or especially for countries other than the UK, or USA, (I only had easy to get information for those two), please name them here. I want to be inclusive here.
