Viola Davis has now joined an elite club on Sunday with her win at the 2023 GRAMMYs.

She has now become an official EGOT (Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, Tony) winner after she won the GRAMMY for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording. The 57-year-old actress took home the award for her performance of the audio version of Finding Me: A Memoir marking her first-ever GRAMMY win.

Davis previously won an Emmy, Oscar and Tony — the Triple Crown of Acting — between 2001, when she was first recognized for her performance in the Broadway production of King Hedley II, and 2017, when she won at the Academy Awards for the film adaptation of Fences. She took home an Emmy in 2015 for the ABC drama, How to Get Away With Murder. 

Now, 22 years after her first Tony win, she has taken home the GRAMMY, making her the latest performer to win all four coveted awards. Davis follows Jennifer Hudson, who completed her EGOT in 2022, as well as Alan Menken, John Legend, Tim Rice and others. Davis is also the third Black woman after Hudson and Whoopi Goldberg to achieve this honor.
