Is Jamie Lee Curtis an EGOT star?

Unfortunately, not yet! Jamie Lee Curtis is not yet an EGOT star like some of her peers. However, this week she won her first Primetime Emmy for her performance in The Bear, where she played Donna Berzatto.

The actress has not been directly involved in the music industry or in Broadway theatrical productions, which is what she needs to achieve EGOT status, as it requires an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
