Tyne Daly, best known as half of the female cop team that formed Cagney & Lacey, won recognition for her role as the New York City detective who was ... a wife and mother. With a background in the theater, Daly brought a cultivated artistry to the role of working class Mary Beth Lacey. As written, the character was multi-faceted--a tough cop, a loving wife, a committed mother, a loyal friend. As played by Daly, Mary Beth was even more complex--innocent, compassionate and at times funny, but clear-eyed and confrontational in her dealings with both the "perps" and her best friend and partner, Christine Cagney (Sharon Gless). As Mary Beth, Tyne Daly created a female character for television who was smart though not college-educated, sexy without being glamorous. Mary Beth's marriage with Harvey Lacey (John Karlen) offered what Daly called "a love story" that marked a true departure from TV marriages--a lusty, devoted partnership.
