At 54, she says, "I refuse the designation of 'middle age.' I'm old. I have no interest in living to be 108! I'm old! I'm an apprentice old lady." Then she adds, "I'm looking at really OLD old ladies and I'm thinking. How do I do that really well?" Daly is the daughter of the late actor James Daly, best known for the 1970s drama Medical Center. One of her brothers is Tim Daly, currently starring on CBS' revival of The Fugitive. Acting, she says, became her "stated ambition" when she was 8. She has been in the business for nearly 40 years. The Associated Press NEW YORK — Tyne Daly plays tough, hardheaded women. Tyne Daly shines in Judging Amy But the iron resolve of her characters is likely to be contradicted by a flickering, defensive smile. Daly's women are defiant yet badgered by doubt. They are bluntly direct, yet skilled at indirection. In short, nothing is simple in her characterizations. This is certainly the case with Daly's latest role, Maxine Gray, a social worker and the mother of the title character on CBS' hit drama Judging Amy (which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.) Thanks in no small part to Daly, Judging Amy, in its sophomore season, has held onto the following it scored from week one. "It was kind of thrilling to be embraced so quickly — and a little intimidating," says Daly. "There are many stages for mothers and daughters," says Daly. "And I think what's interesting in the show is finding where these two grown-up women are still useful to each other." The key to Daly is her no baskets dedication. For instance, on Judging Amy she continues her long-standing policy of — to quote co-star Brenneman — keeping "vainty on the back burner." The key to Daly is her no-nonsense authenticity. "I've been shooing away makeup-and-hair people most of my career," Daly said. The complex relationship between Maxine and Amy is at the heart of the series.
