Davis's Grammy win came from her first-ever nomination, and she beat out fellow Hollywood stars Jamie Foxx, Mel Brooks, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Questlove.
Her journey to EGOT began in 2001 when she won her first Tony for her performance as Tonya in King Hedley II on Broadway — her second nomination. She then earned both a Tony and an Oscar for her portrayal of Rose Maxson in Fences, both on the big screen and on Broadway, in 2010 and 2017, respectively.
Her Emmy win made history, as she became the first Black actress to win outstanding lead actress in a drama series for How to Get Away with Murder.
