American actress Ellen Burstyn has won the rare Triple Crown of Acting - an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony. Her best known film roles include Chris MacNeil in The Exorcist, Sara in Requiem for a Dream and her Academy award winning role of Alice in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
Her Tony Award was for Same Time, Next Year, and Ellen's Emmy is for her guest starring role on Law and Order: SVU. At the moment she's starring in a comedy/drama called Queen Bees about her character Helen, a widow offered a second chance at love after moving into a retirement community. She's also filming an HBO series about America's First Ladies, and hit the headlines recently when it was announced she is to appear in a new "Exorcist" trilogy.
