In the 1970s, Daly began to appear frequently as a guest on episodic primetime shows including Ironside, McMillan and Wife, Mission: Impossible, The Mod Squad, The Streets of San Francisco, and Barnaby Jones. On several programs, including Medical Center, The Rookies, and Quincy, M.E., she appeared over the run of the programs several times as several different characters. In 1981, Daly was cast as detective Mary Beth Lacey in the TV movie Cagney and Lacey, opposite Loretta Swit as Christine Cagney. The following year, CBS developed a series based on the movie, and actress Meg Foster was cast as Cagney. After a few episodes, CBS decided to let Foster go because of her resemblance to Daly, and Sharon Gless was cast. Daly is perhaps best known for her appearance in this show, which ran for seven seasons. After the series ended, Daly continued to make additional appearances on prime-time programs, including a comedic turn on The Nanny, an appearance on the Sharon Gless program The Trials of Rosie O'Neill, and four reunion Cagney and Lacey movies between 1994 and 1996. She also guest starred in 1988 on Dolly Parton's short-lived musical variety series Dolly!, which allowed her to demonstrate to TV audiences her musical abilities, as she sang one song herself (a cappella), and then joined Parton on another song. Her next continuing role was on the CBS drama Christy. She appeared in a made for TV Christmas movie in 2003 - Undercover Christmas, as Anne Cunningham.

Most recently, she appeared as social worker Maxine Gray, who was also the mother to the show's title character Amy, on the CBS drama Judging Amy, which ran from 1999 to 2005. Addressing a conference of the National Association of Social Workers in 2000, Daly said that she had learned from social workers and social work texts to improve her portrayal of her character. She added: "I take from you because you are the ones dealing with all the bad institutions of our society: institutionalized poverty, institutionalized racism, institutionalized cynicism."[1] In Grey's Anatomy she made a guest appearance as the mother of Derek Shepard. [edit] Theater rolesDaly has made several appearances on the Broadway stage. Her first appearance was in 1967, in a short-lived play, "That Summer, That Fall".

In 2008 she appeared as Mother in the world premiere production of the Edward Albee play Me, Myself & I at the McCarter Theatre, Princeton, New Jersey. [2] [edit] Role modelDaly has been identified as a feminist role model, particularly based on her television roles in Cagney and Lacey and Judging Amy. Her role as Lacey showed a woman detective at a time where the idea was still novel; the show was also novel in presenting Lacey primarily in a work environment, rather than always showing the character at home. She has also been outspoken about maintaining a natural appearance as she ages, and for the run of Judging Amy, Daly's hair was shown in its naturally gray state.[3] [edit] Personal lifeMs. Daly was married to Georg Stanford Brown for 24 years (1966 - 1990) (divorced), has 3 daughters, Kathryne Dora Brown (b. 1971) is an actress, Alisabeth (b. 1968) is a potter, and Alyxandra Beatris Brown (b. 1985).
