Tyne Daly Explains Why She Wasn’t Invited to Brother Tim Daly’s Wedding to Téa Leoni
Actor Tim Daly married his long-time partner and Madam Secretary co-star Téa Leoni in July, but his sister, Cagney & Lacey alum Tyne Daly, wasn’t invited to the ceremony.
The actress spoke to People at the TV Academy’s inaugural Televerse Festival in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday (August 16), where she revealed the reason she wasn’t at her brother’s wedding.
“There was a small wedding. Very exclusive, very, very private,” the Judging Amy star explained, adding, “They only had people [there] that they gave birth to or people who gave birth to them,” implying that only the couple’s children and their parents attended the nuptials.
Tim shares two children, including fellow Madam Secretary star Sam Daly, with his ex-wife, actress Amy Van Nostrand. Meanwhile, Leoni shares two children from her previous marriage to X-Files actor David Duchovny, including Painkiller actress West Duchovny.
While she didn’t get to attend the wedding, which took place at Tim and Leoni’s “beautiful apartment in New York,” Tyne explained that the newly married couple will be throwing a party to celebrate their marriage with more of their loved ones at a later date.
“I’m going to see the newlyweds quite soon,” Tyne told the outlet, while also revealing that she’s currently in the middle of making “a Christmas present” for Leoni.
“It’s a secret. I can’t tell you what the present is. Nobody likes surprises anymore,” the Murphy Brown star added, only confirming that the present was something knitted.
Tyne also appeared in an episode of Madam Secretary in 2019, playing Senator Amy Ross. The political drama series ran on CBS from September 21, 2014, to December 8, 2019, and starred Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the United States Secretary of State and later the President of the United States, and Tim as Henry McCord, Elizabeth’s husband of 25 years and later the First Gentleman of the United States.

Um, Tyne Daly was not the star of "Murphy Brown." She was the multiple Emmys winning star of "Cagney and Lacey."

I think it’s worth mentioning that she was in Judging Amy too. It was a great show and she was particularly good as the lead in the show, even among a great ensemble. Wish it would repeat somewhere like Start TV.

Which was a much better show than given credit for. However, Rob is correct on both counts. She was in no way the STAR of Murphy Brown

The article mentions both shows. And, yes, while technically, Ms. Daly was not the STAR of "Murphy Brown", she was one of the stars of it, at least the revived version. So I don't think that article made any errors.

That's the Canadian cable compaNY. FANTASTIC customer service. NOt the best prices or packages. And when you think of Tyne Daly, you think of Cagney and Lacey before anything else. Period.
