Winner of three of the four major American entertainment awards

Cyndi is one of the few singers to win three of the four big American entertainment awards - Emmy, Grammy and Tony. She only needs an Oscar to get full EGOT status.

She won two Grammys, one in 1985 - Best New Artist - and another in 2014 - Musical Theatre Album for 'Kinky Boots'

Her Emmy came in 1995 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, when she starred in 'Mad About You', playing Marianne Lugasso.

Then, she scooped up her Tony in 2013 for 'Kinky Boots', Best Original Score.
