Viola Davis Achieves EGOT Status After 2023 Grammy Win

The acting legend that is Viola Davis has already cemented herself as a historic craftswoman, but she has achieved a new status. Davis is officially an EGOT winner.

On Feb. 5, Davis won her first Grammy. She won the Grammy for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling for her autobiography, “Finding Me.”
