Tyne Daly so believed in the magic of the theater that she broke her wrist after seeing Peter Pan as a child, believing she could fly. As an adult, her career became airborne, reaching a pinnacle when she played Mary Beth Lacey in one of the biggest TV shows of the 1980s, Cagney & Lacey. This Intimate Portrait--narrated by her brother, actor Tim Daly--recounts the politics behind the hit show as well as the careers of Tyne Daly and her ex- husband, George Stanford Brown. It also examines how show business can strain a marriage; her divorce is her "greatest regret." The child of actor parents had planned to "become a nun to the theater," but instead made an interracial marriage at a time when it was still illegal in some states. Always juggling family and career, she nabbed a breakthrough role with Clint Eastwood in The Enforcer and followed her TV success with the Tony-winning lead role as Gypsy on Broadway. At 50, she shaved her head to signify rebirth for the second half of her life. At the end of this portrait, she recites her favorite poem, about love, for the cameras--and she's not acting. --Valerie J. Nelson
