Fargo and
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Frances McDormand, 63, has moved into elite company after winning two more Academy Awards on Monday, for producing and starring in
Nomadland.
Frances McDormandâs three Oscar-winning roles: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; Fargo and Nomadland.Â
Only two other female actors, Meryl Streep and Ingrid Bergman, have won three Oscars. And only three males: Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis and Walter Brennan. Another famously headstrong actor, Katharine Hepburn, holds the record with four Oscars.
So what does McDormand do so well?
While a character actor for much of her career, McDormand has shone when in a lead role, bringing warmth, dignity, intelligence and truth to usually uncompromising ordinary folks. Mine worker, cop, copâs wife, gift shop worker, gig economy worker.
