Tyne never viewed their relationship through the categories other people placed on them. She once described it simply as being married to “another member of the human race.”
Their love also made history on television.
When Georg appeared on The Rookies,n the couple shared one of television’s early interracial kisses. Network censors wanted the scene removed, but the couple stood their ground — and it aired.
Behind the cameras, they were raising a family.
Their daughters Alisabeth and Kathryne were born in 1967 and 1971, followed by their youngest, Alyxandra, in 1985.
Tyne had always wanted a big family, but balancing motherhood with her demanding acting career wasn’t easy. She even returned to Cagney & Lacey with her youngest daughter, carrying her baby on her back while working.
They once had a marriage that was considered illegal… and yet they built a family that defied all odds
