Biography
Daly was born Ellen Tyne Daly in Madison, Wisconsin into a creative family; she is the daughter of actor James Daly. Her younger brother is actor Timothy Daly. She is also related to former game show host and newsman John Charles Daly. Her sister-in-law, Amy Van Nostrand, is also an actress. She was raised in Westchester County, New York, where she started her career by performing in summer stock with her family; she earned her Equity card at age 15. She studied at Brandeis University and The American Musical and Dramatic Academy.[2]
Daly was married to actor/director Georg Stanford Brown from 1966 to 1990. They have three daughters, Alisabeth, a potter, Alyxandra, and Kathryne Dora, who is an actress.[2]
Film
Source:[1]
Daly's best known appearance in a feature film was as Inspector Harry Callahan's partner, Kate Moore, in the 1976 Dirty Harry film The Enforcer. She also made appearances in Play It As It Lays, John and Mary, The Adulteress, and Speedtrap. She received top billing for The Adulteress (1973).
Television
Source:[1]
Daly is well known for her work in television.
In the 1970s, Daly began to appear frequently as a guest on episodic primetime shows including Ironside, McMillan and Wife, Mission: Impossible, The Mod Squad, The Streets of San Francisco, and Barnaby Jones. On several programs, including Medical Center, The Rookies, and Quincy, M.E., she appeared over the run of the programs several times as several different characters.
In 1981, Daly was cast as detective Mary Beth Lacey in the TV movie Cagney and Lacey, opposite Loretta Swit as Christine Cagney. The following year, CBS developed a series based on the movie, and actress Meg Foster was cast as Cagney. After a few episodes, CBS decided to let Foster go because of her resemblance to Daly, and Sharon Gless was cast. Daly is perhaps best known for her appearance in this show, which ran for seven seasons.
After the series ended, Daly continued to make additional appearances on prime-time programs, including a comedic turn on The Nanny, an appearance on the Sharon Gless program The Trials of Rosie O'Neill, and four reunion Cagney and Lacey movies between 1994 and 1996.
She also guest starred in 1988 on Dolly Parton's short-lived musical variety series Dolly!, which allowed her to demonstrate to TV audiences her musical abilities, as she sang one song herself (a cappella), and then joined Parton on another song.[citation needed]
Her next continuing role was on the CBS drama Christy.
She appeared in a made-for-TV movie for Lifetime in 2003 titled Undercover Christmas, as Anne Cunningham. She played the role of a traditional mother and peacemaker at Christmas time in a waelthy family of lawyers, who initially disapproves of her FBI agent son's girlfriend.[4]
She appeared as social worker Maxine Gray, who was also the mother to the show's title character Amy, on the CBS drama Judging Amy, which ran from 1999 to 2005. Addressing a conference of the National Association of Social Workers in 2000, Daly said that she had learned from social workers and social work texts to improve her portrayal of her character. She added: "I take from you because you are the ones dealing with all the bad institutions of our society: institutionalized poverty, institutionalized racism, institutionalized cynicism."[5]
In Grey's Anatomy she made a guest appearance as the mother of Derek Shepard.
In 2010, she guest starred on the series Burn Notice, allowing her to reunite with Sharon Gless.
Theater
Source:[6]
Daly has made appearances on both the Broadway stage, on tour and in regional theatre. Her first appearance was in 1967, in a short-lived play, "That Summer, That Fall". She appeared in a revival of the Anton Chekhov play The Seagull in 1992. Prior to appearing on Broadway in the 1989 revival of Gypsy as Mama Rose, she and the company embarked on a 14 city US tour over six months, starting in April 1989 in Chattanooga, Tennessee.[7] Daly left Gypsy in July 1990, with Linda Lavin playing Rose, and returned in April 1991 through closing in July 1991. She appeared in the 2006 play Rabbit Hole, portraying the mother of the play's protagonist, played by Cynthia Nixon. In January 2008 she played the role of Mother in the world premiere production of the Edward Albee play Me, Myself & I at the McCarter Theatre, Princeton, New Jersey. [8][6][2][3]
Cabaret
Daly performs a cabaret act Second Time Around, in January 2010 at Feinstein's at Loews Regency, New York City. She had previously performed at Feinstein's in May 2009.[9]
Role model
Daly has been identified as a feminist role model, particularly based on her television roles in Cagney and Lacey and Judging Amy. Her role as Lacey showed a woman detective at a time where the idea was still novel; the show was also novel in presenting Lacey primarily in a work environment, rather than always showing the character at home.[10] She has also been outspoken about maintaining a natural appearance as she ages, and for the run of Judging Amy, Daly's hair was shown in its naturally gray state.[11]
Personal life
Ms. Daly was married to Georg Stanford Brown for 24 years (1966 - 1990) (divorced), has three daughters, Kathryne Dora Brown (b. 1971) is an actress, Alisabeth (b. 1968) is a potter, and Alyxandra Beatris Brown (b. 1985).[12][3] [2]
