What is the most unique overall accomplishment by someone in the world of film? Actor, actress, director, producer, etc. I'm trying to avoid Oscar milestones unless they are highly unusual (e.g., Linda Hunt's Oscar).
Inspired "The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," where actors/actresses are assigned "Bacon Numbers" based on their connection to him.
