(Ellen) Tyne Daly began her career in summer stock in New York, and made her Broadway debut in the play THAT SUMMER, THAT FALL in 1967. She is, of course, best known for her longtime TV role as Detective Mary Beth Lacey in CAGNEY & LACEY, which ran from 1982 to 1988. This was a role for which she won four Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. In 1989, she starred in the Broadway revival of GYPSY and won the 1990 Tony for Best Actress in a Musical. Big ol' showoff.
Her other TV roles have included Alice Henderson in CHRISTY 1994-5, for which she won an Emmy in 1996, and as Maxine Gray, in ?, which won her a second Emmy in 2003. Her other roles on Broadway have included THE SEAGULL (1992), and a Tony-nominated role in RABBIT HOLE (2006). Tyne, did you ever hear the expression, "It's just a job"?
She was (again) nominated for a Tony Award with her role in MOTHERS & SONS (2014). She has played Maria Callas both on Broadway and in London's West End, and played Anne Marie Hoag (whoever that might be) in SPIDER MAN: HOMECOMING. (TBC?)
In sum, Tyne has won 6 separate Emmy awards for her television work, a Tony, and she was a 2011 American Theatre Hall of Fame inductee. (Meantime, I scramble to round up daily bus fare. Ah, such is life.) (TBC, probably)
Based on what I've read thus far, she was in a long-term marriage that ultimately ended in divorce, but has 3 children by it. I've yet to find a site that gives her personal measurements or cup size. I'm given to understand that she has 2 sisters and a brother. Her net worth has been variously estimated, with $10 million being at the high end. She and her (then) husband had to convert their garage to hold all her many awards; of course if things ever get tight I'm sure she can sell them on amazon or ebay. I do have to admit she was truly riveting as Mary Beth Lacey, although it was the dramatic tension between her and Christine Cagney (in a men's-locker-room kind of setting) that really made the show. But I digress.
