A year later, she would take the stage again to collect the award for her role as Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter. In 1981, Hepburn won her last award, with which she was going to complete her great achievements, thanks to her performance in her film On Golden Pond. At the moment, no other performer has managed to achieve the number of four statuettes. Meryl Streep, Daniel Day-Lewis and Jack Nicholson are some of the actors who currently have three awards under their belt.
