Judy Garland?

Alas, Ms. Garland did not win an Emmy. Although, her Oscar (best performance of a juvenile 1939) and her Tony (contributions to revival of Vaudville 1952) were special awards and not for a recognized catagory. She won 2 Grammys in 1961.

Ms. Streisand has two Oscars (Best Actress 1968 Funny Girl, Best Original Song 1976 A Star Is Born). She has nine Grammys. She has five Emmys. She has a special Tony but it was not in a competitive catagory so she didn't win it.

Rita Moreno Won an Oscar in 1961 for West Side Story (Best Supporting Actress), a Grammy with Bill Cosby in 1972 for Best Recording For Children, a Tony in 1975 for Best Supporting or Featured Actress in The Ritz, and 2 Emmys in 1977 for "the Muppet Show" (Supporting Actress in Variety or Music) and 1978 for "the Rockford Files" (Actress in a Drama or Comedy Series)

Hmmm, I missed this one. I wouldn't have thought of Rita Moreno anyways, mainly because I don't even know who she is.
