    There are 24 members of the Acting Triple Crown club.
    Oscar, Emmy and Tony winners, of course.

    Viola Davis was the second-most recent, in 2001. This is a fairly obscure British actress.

    Without looking it up, who are the four friends Biz Markie name drops in Just A Friend? (Not that obscure, but the song has been stuck in my head.)

    Agnes, Agatha, Germaine and Jack (I made a joke referencing them after he died, so I know Germaine is spelled with a G)

    Since there was (no) overwhelming interest, the answer is Stallone for Rocky Balboa (the first movie and Creed). Others, including Paul Newman and Al Pacino have been nominations twice for the same role but have other acting nominations. Stallone was robbed in Over the Top.

    The answer is Glenda Jackson, members and moderators.

    The younger version of whom had a dollop of Bridget Fonda, I think.
