Question 2: How many Emmy Awards did Gless and Daly earn for C
& L?
Tyne Daly received four Emmy awards. The episodes were 'Baby Broker'
(Season 2), "Burn Out' (Season 3), "Who Said It's Fair (Season
4) and 'Friendly Fire' (Season Seven). Sharon received two Emmy awards
for 'The Gimp' (Season 5) and 'Turn, Turn, Turn' (Season 6).
Question 3: What was the inspiration for Cagney and Lacey?
Producers created the show when it was pointed out there had never
been a female buddy movie or television show. Every studio turned
down the original movie until CBS said... what the heck. It became
the highest rated TV Movie of 1981 and CBS immediately ordered up
a series.
