American actress Viola Davis has become the 18th person to achieve the EGOT status - winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award - at the 65th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Davis completed her collection by winning the best audiobook for her autobiography "Finding Me".
"I wrote this book to honor the six-year-old Viola, to honor her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," said the star.
“Finding Me” punctuates Davis’ lofty accomplishments as well as the racism, generational abuse, sexual assault, and poverty she survived.
The actress won the best supporting actress Oscar in 2016 for "Fences" and earned an Emmy Award for the role of Annalise Keating in Shonda Rhimes’s “How to Get Away with Murder,” which made her the first Black woman to win in the lead actress drama category.
She has two Tony Awards for her theatre work - featured actress in a play for "King Hedley II" (2001) and lead actress in a play for "Fences" (2010).
"I just EGOT!" announced the star on stage at the Grammys and thanked her family for being "the best chapter in my book".
The 17 other EGOT winners include Sir John Gielgud, Rita Moreno, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, and Jennifer Hudson.
Davis picked up her prize at the Grammys "premiere ceremony", which mostly recognizes technical and genre categories.
