I learned this about Marvin Hamlisch from a trivia question on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” and looked up the list at that point, so I semi-vaguely knew the other names (excepting Jonathan Tunick and Scott Rudin, who I hadn’t known before and thus promptly forgot). Pre-Millionaire, the only name I thought I knew was Liza Minelli, and reading the actual information made me realize that hers was an honorary mention – her Grammy was non-competitive, as the Wiki page puts it).

I know that Richard Rogers and Marvin Hamlisch are the only people who won the EGOT and a Pulitzer Prize.

Also, George Bernard Shaw won both the Academy Award and the Nobel Prize (in Literature).

You’re right! I looked it up and her Grammy was for an LP of _The Electric Company_. And I remember that episode of _Rockford_! (I feel old…)
