Neither Jack Nicholson nor Marlon Brando: this is the actress with most Oscars in history

The 2025 Academy Awards are just around the corner (March 3), making it the perfect time to revisit some fascinating moments from the history of the prestigious prize, awarded to actors, directors, screenwriters, and other key figures in the film industry. For example, do you know who holds the record for the most Oscar wins? None other than American actress Katharine Hepburn.

Hepburn was born in 1907 and passed away in 2003—nearly a century of life marked by an extraordinary career. Over more than 50 years, she starred in numerous unforgettable films, achieving something that no one else has accomplished to this day: winning four Academy Awards for Best Actress.

These are the films that earned her an Oscar:

• Morning Glory (1933)
• Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967)
• The Lion in Winter (1968)
• On Golden Pond (1981)

Other notable films in her career include Little Women, The Little Minister, Bringing Up Baby, Woman of the Year, Holiday, and Adam’s Rib.

Aside from the unmatched Hepburn, the list of actors with three Academy Awards includes:

• Jack Nicholson
• Meryl Streep
• Walter Brennan
• Ingrid Bergman
