I remember her best from King Kong and Tootsie

Not to pick too many bits. It can hardly be called the "triple crown" of acting if someone wins multiple awards in 5 different categories/competitions. Triple still means 3. Not 5. Maybe the Quintuple Crown? If she had won an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony, or a Golden Globe? Triple Crown would be more appropriate.

I'll always remember her in her breakout role in Dino de Laurentis' 1976 remake of King Kong, in the role that Fay Wray created. Lange turned out to be a pretty good screamer.

Todd Van Dell, it's clear that she has won at least one each of the triple crown - Oscar, Emmy, Tony. It's not the total number,(5) it's the range.(3)
