Although they are not together anymore, Tyne and Georg will forever be unified by the beautiful family they built, which includes their three daughters. That family has since multiplied in size with the additions of Kathryne, Alyxandra, and Alisabeth’s children, making Tyne and Georg grandparents. Here is everything to know about the family.
What Are Georg Stanford Brown and Tyne Daly Famous For?
Georg began his career in the 1960s after appearing in the iconic comedy series “The Comedians” and “The Rookies.” Some of his other famous works include “Roots,” “Bullitt,” and “Stir Crazy.”
The actor has many directorial credits to his name, too, and this earned recognition from fans and the movie world, giving him a spot on the Emmy nomination list several times. Tyne is an actress and writer famous for scripting “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” She has also worked on “Judging Amy” and “Cagney & Lacey.”

What Did Tyne Daly Say about Her Former Marriage?
Tyne and her ex-husband understood the true meaning of love. While the system opposed it, they remained persistent in their quest to exchange their marital vows on June 26, 1966. It was a time when miscegenation laws were upheld in about seventeen states in the US—laws that prohibited Caucasians from marrying Blacks.

Not one to be deterred by societal norms, the pair tied the knot against all odds, and the year after, the Supreme Court ruled over a case known as Loving v. Virginia, taking the racist laws down.
In 1977, Georg recalled the time he and his wife appeared together on “The Rookies” and the bad reception they got because of their different races. During an episode of the series, the couple shared the first-ever on-screen interracial kiss.

The network censors sent a memo before the episode aired saying interracial kisses were still taboo. Thus, they demanded the kiss be deleted, but Georg and the team refused, and when it aired, no one made a big deal about it.

During a February 2022 interview, Tyne revealed how she and Georg “had blinders” about the objections against interracial marriage and relationships when she was 19 and the actor was 21 and still courting. Therefore, their union wasn’t about policy or politics but about love and passion.
The actress confessed that she and Georg got dragged into the political side of things. She said she is deeply appalled by the US’s insistence on promoting racism by making marrying someone of a different race an offense.
Tyne believed the rule was fake, something that people who wanted more power over others made up to promote their agenda. The star feels the country is now swinging back to a time when hatred was popular.
However, Tyne only had praise during her speech at her Broadway show in 2015 when she addressed the country’s Supreme Court’s decision to permit gay marriages. The actress concluded her speech by stating a quote she’d read from a newspaper that day, which read, “Hate is very strong, but love is stronger.”

While other celebrities may not have a problem with being the perfect role model for their children, Brown and Daly did. They disapproved of their daughter’s career choice, but that does not mean they were not supportive.
Who Is Alisabeth Brown?
Alisabeth Brown is the couple’s firstborn. She’s a talented woman, but not many details about her have been made public. In 2018, a news page shared a cute picture featuring Alisabeth dressed in comfy attire with her face glowing with an infectious smile.

The woman had what looked like a vase in her hands, and there were several ceramic vases around her. The caption that accompanied the photo gave a classical detail of her profession. It read, “Meet Alisabeth B Brown, potter and glassworker. She’s been making ceramics most of her life and just recently branched out into glass.”

Kathryne ensured that she shared the memorable moments with her online audience by adding a family photo and the note, “These people, they complete me #thanksgiving #grateful #family.”

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mommy, and to all the women throughout my entire life…and my sisters Alisabeth and Alyxandra.”
