THIS COUPLE HAD AN INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE THAT LASTED A LONG TIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY FACED PREJUDICE.

From Whirlwind Romance to Marriage

Hollywood actors Georg Stanford Brown and Tyne Daly didn’t waste time – they tied the knot after just five months of dating. Their love blossomed in the 1960s, a time when interracial marriage faced societal barriers and legal restrictions.

Early Life and Career of Georg Stanford Brown

Brown’s journey began in Havana, then moved to Harlem at seven, and later to LA for his education in theater arts. Initially, he chose theater as an easy option but soon developed a passion. He studied under Philip Burton, Richard Burton’s mentor, and worked as a janitor to fund his education.

Breaking Through with “The Rookies” and “Roots”

Brown gained fame as Officer Terry Webster on ABC’s “The Rookies” and for his portrayal of Tom Harvey in the mini-series “Roots.” Throughout his career, he showcased his versatility in various roles, from “The Comedians” to “Bullitt” and “The Jesse Owens Story.”

Tyne Daly: The Rising Star

Daly, already renowned for her role as Mary Beth Lacey in “Cagney and Lacey,” was a force to reckon with in Hollywood. Her portrayal of Mary Beth, a tough cop and mom, resonated with audiences, making the show a massive success.

Navigating Interracial Marriage

The couple faced racial prejudice but remained undeterred until they shared their first on-screen interracial kiss on “The Rookies.” Despite pressure from network censors, they stood firm, airing the scene without compromise.

An Enduring Bond and Family Legacy

Their marriage bore three daughters: Alisabeth, Kathryne Dora, and Alyxandra Beatris. Describing their youngest daughter’s birth, Daly humorously noted their refusal to fit into racial categories.

Continued Success and Separation

Brown transitioned to directing, winning an Emmy for his work on the final episode of “Cagney & Lacey,” while Daly pursued a successful acting career on Broadway and beyond. Despite their achievements, their marriage ended in 1990 after 24 years due to irreconcilable differences.
