Ellen Tyne Daly (born February 21, 1946 in Madison , Wisconsin ) is an American actress .

Career

Tyne Daly is the daughter of actor James Daly and stage actress Hope Newell and came into contact with theater, film and television at an early age. Her father regularly took her to the theater and Daly soon developed the desire to become an actress too. After seeing the musical Gypsy , she was determined to play the role of "Mama Rose" herself. In the 1990s this wish came true for her, and she was able to celebrate great success in the role on Broadway .

After studying at Brandeis University and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts , she first played theater. With her role as a very young police officer in Dirty Harry III - The Relentless at the side of Clint Eastwood , the actress attracted attention and became known to a wider audience.

In 1981 she was offered the role of a policewoman in a pilot about a female investigator duo. Daly hesitated at first, but since the two characters were fundamentally different from each other, she finally agreed. In addition to Loretta Swit , she played the role of "Mary Beth Lacey". The film about the two female police officers was well received by the audience, so it was decided to develop the material into the series format Cagney & Lacey . Since Swit was no longer available due to her role in the television series M * A * S * H , Meg Foster was initially signed for the role of "Christine Cagney" . Since Daly and Foster were not very different in type and the producers seemed too feminist and too lesbian for the American public as a couple, the role was reassigned to Sharon Gless .

After initial difficulties, the series with Daly and Gless was able to prevail, which meant the international breakthrough for both actresses. For her role, Tyne Daly received several Golden Globe and Emmy nominations and awards. After the series ended, there were four more television films with the two policewomen, and Tyne Daly also took on guest roles in series such as The Nanny , Columbo and Quincy .

In 1999 she got another lead role in a series. Until the end of 2005 she impersonated the feisty social worker "Maxine Gray" and the judge's mother "Amy Gray" ( Amy Brenneman ) in For All Cases Amy . Her daughter Katheryne, brother Tim and colleague Richard Crenna also appeared in supporting roles on the series. She had previously worked with Crenna in the film Kids like these (1987), about a family with a child with Down syndrome .

Private

Daly has three siblings; her younger brother Timothy Daly is also an actor and her younger sister Glynn is married to composer Mark Snow .

Daly married her colleague of Cuban origin, Georg Stanford Brown , in 1966 . The couple had three daughters. In 1990, Brown and Daly divorced.

Her daughter Kathryne Dora Brown is also an actress and has appeared with her mother in Cagney & Lacey and in a recurring role in Just In Case, Amy .

Awards

Daly was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1996 . She has also received six Emmy awards (1983, 1984, 1985 and 1988 for her roles in Cagney and Lacey; 1996 for her role in Christy and 2003 for her role in Just For All Amy) and a Tony for Best Actress in 1990 Broadway -Musical Gypsy . In 2002 she received the Lucy Award from the organization Women in Film.
