EGOT-winning actress Davis (5)

I believe the answer is:

viola

(Other definitions for viola that I've seen before include "Bowed string instrument" , "String instrument of a range between the violin and cello" , "Alto of the violin family" , "whose player takes a bow" , "Shakespeare heroine; instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
