Kim Delaney (born November 29, 1961) is an Emmy Award-winning American actress known for her starring roles on notable prime-time TV shows including NYPD Blue, CSI Miami, Army Wives, Philly, and All My Children. Delaney won an Emmy Award for her role playing Detective Diane Russell on the ABC drama television series NYPD Blue. Delaney has garnered a total of nineteen award nominations for her TV work including nominations for Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actor’s Guild Awards and three Emmy Award nominations. Early in her career, she played the role of Jenny Gardner in the ABC daytime television drama All My Children. She later had leading roles in the TV drama Philly, CSI: Miami, and the first six seasons of Army Wives.
Early life
Delaney, an Irish American, was born on November 29, 1961, in Philadelphia, to Joan and Jack Delaney, the only daughter and third of five children. Delaney's mother was a homemaker and her father a senior union official in the United Auto Workers. She was raised Roman Catholic. Delaney grew up in Roxborough and has two older brothers, Ed and John, and two younger ones, Keith and Patrick. While she was attending J. W. Hallahan Catholic Girls High School, she worked as a model for the Elite agency. After her graduation, she went to New York and found employment there as a model. At the same time, she studied acting with William Esper.
Career
Delaney first became known for her role as innocent teenager Jenny Gardner Nelson on the soap opera All My Children, which was her first job. She played the character from August 1981 to August 1984, earning her first Daytime Emmy Award nomination, as well as a loyal fan base. A profile of the actress a decade later noted, "Delaney left the soap in 1984, but fans still remember her as Jenny. 'They come up and will say they've followed everything I've done, and they stopped watching the show after I left, and they're so happy to see me on NYPD Blue, because they love the character.'"
After leaving the show, Delaney began acting in feature films. In 1985, she appeared with Emilio Estevez in That Was Then... This Is Now, a film version of the S. E. Hinton novel of the same name. In 1986, she played a young nun in the military action movie The Delta Force, starring Chuck Norris. In 1987, she appeared both as Jessie in Christmas Comes to Willow Creek, and as associate attorney Leslie Kleinberg during the 2nd season of L.A. Law. In 1988, Delaney starred in the thriller The Drifter. In 1994, she appeared in the film The Force.
In 1988, Delaney became a regular on the CBS television series Tour of Duty. She left the show in 1989 to give birth to her and husband Joseph Cortese's son.
In 1995, Delaney began portraying the role of NYPD Blue Detective Diane Russell. Her character had a romantic relationship with Detective Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) which became a hit with viewers. In this role, she was nominated three times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, winning at the 1997 Emmy Awards.
In 2001, NYPD Blue producer Steven Bochco chose Delaney for the lead in the new television series Philly. Despite critical acclaim, the show lasted only one season.
In 2002, Delaney was the female lead on the new CBS drama series CSI: Miami, a spin-off of sorts from the hit CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. After returning in 4 episodes of NYPD Blue, Delaney starred in the 2004 NBC miniseries 10.5, and its 2006 sequel, 10.5: Apocalypse. The following year, she began a recurring role on The O.C. In 2006, Delaney starred in an episode of Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King titled "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band," about Rock and Roll Heaven. Delaney next appeared twice on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in early 2007, guest-starring on the episodes "Philadelphia" and "Florida."
Delaney played the main role of Claudia Joy Holden on the Lifetime Television series Army Wives. Delaney was on the show six out of its seven seasons, until 2012.
In early 2016, Delaney was cast in God Bless the Broken Road, a feature film based on the song of the same name. It was released in the United States on September 7, 2018.

Delaney has been married twice. Her first marriage to actor Charles Grant lasted from 1984 to 1988. Her second marriage was to actor Joseph Cortese. They married in 1989 and divorced in 1994.
