PEGOTs: Hamlisch was one of only twelve people to win all four major U.S. performing awards -- the Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar, and Tony. He is one of only two to have also won the Pulitzer Prize (the other being Richard Rodgers, but the whereabouts of all of his awards are unknown, hence, this is the only complete collection).
In addition, Hamlisch won dozens of other major awards, including two Golden Globe awards, including two Golden Globe awards for Best Original Song from a Motion Picture: "Life is What You Make It" from "Kotch" (1972) and "The Way We Were" (1974). Hamlisch was also awarded a Platinum Record for sales of more than 2,000,000 copies of the Columbia original Broadway cast recording of "A Chorus Line." Among the other Platinum and Gold Records he was awarded were those for: "The Way We Were" (both the album and the single), "The Entertainer," "The Sting," and "Nobody Does It Better." |
