Hollywood actors Georg Stanford Brown and Tyne Daly overcame discrimination and broke social conventions to create a lasting love. When their narrative started in the 1960s, interracial marriage was still frowned upon and prohibited in many US states. However, their love won out.
Just one year before interracial marriage was legalized nationwide, on June 1, 1966, they exchanged vows. Considering that such weddings were illegal in 31 states as late as 1960, it was an audacious and brave effort.
Georg Stanford Brown had his own road before becoming well-known in Hollywood. At the age of seven, he relocated from Havana to Harlem. Later, he made his home in Los Angeles, where he continued his studies with a theater arts degree. At first, Brown just considered pursuing a career in theater to be a casual decision that would be “easy.”
