She stands up to show me. “I wonder if I took my iPad off the stand and walked you into my office, where they all are,” she says, immediately reaching for it over a video Zoom.

Her assistant, Caitlin, gets the camera turned around, and the Zoom window swings from a living room into a study. Burstyn, 93, narrates as she goes, approaching the wall of statues.

“And then these are all awards, too, from various organizations and people. And then these are my nominations up there,” pointing to dozens of certificates and plaques.

“She said, ‘You know, you’re only one away from an EGOT. You should go for it, Grandma,’” Burstyn recalls.

“I don’t know how you ‘go for it.’ But it is thrilling. I understand only six women have ever gotten an EGOT.

That’s quite a special event, so I’m all for it.” We last spoke in 2020 during the pan
