Concord Theatricals celebrates Marvin Hamlisch as the only other person in history, after Richard Rodgers, who has won the PEGOT (Pulitzer, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). Author Robin Pomatto writes:

He dominated at the 1974 Oscars, strolling out of that ceremony with three statues under his arm before he turned 30.
