In 1986 the night started out:
Tyne Daly then husband won an Emmy for directing an episode of “Cagney & Lacey”
Tyne Daly on-screen husband, John Karlen won an Emmy
Tyne Daly co-star Sharon Gless beat her to win an Emmy
Tyne Daly show “Cagney & Lacey” won the Emmy For Best Show
Everyone won an Emmy that night, except Tyne Daly.
Of course the sympathy should go to Dame Angela Lansbury, racking up her second of what would be 11 straight losses in the category for Murder, She Wrote (four of which were against Cagney or Lacey). At that point she probably still had hope she’d win someday…
