`WINGS' STAR IS THE BROTHER OF TYNE DALY

Q: Tell me about Timothy Daly, of "Queen" and "Wings." How old is he? Married? What other acting has he done? Where can I write to him? - V.T., Chesapeake, Va.

A: Daly, 37, is the son of the late James Daly and little brother of Tyne Daly. He majored in drama at Bennington (Vt.) College and started out in a rock band in New York. He made his movie debut in "Diner" but concentrated on theater. He's done two TV series, "Almost Grown" and "Ryan's Four"; the miniseries "I'll Take Manhattan"; the TV movie "Red Earth, White Earth"; and features, "Made in Heaven," "Love or Money" and "Just the Way You Are." Daly and wife Amy Van Nostrandt are parents to Sam, 8, and Emelyn, 2. Write: Paramount Television, 5555 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. 90038-3197.

Q: Who played Jane Seymour's mother on "Dr. Quinn," Jane Wyatt or Jane Wyman? - R.T., Burbank, Ill.

A: Wyman.

Q: I'm an admirer of Hal Holbrook currently on "Evening Shade." I'd like information on him: age, birthplace, education, acting history, etc. - M.B., Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.

A: Holbrook (Harold Rowe Holbrook Jr.) was born Feb. 17, 1925, in Cleveland and raised by his grandparents in South Weymouth, Mass., after his showgirl mother left him to work on stage. He attended Culver Military Academy and Denison University in Granville, Ohio, before serving in the Army during World War II. He started acting in TV in the 1950s in the soap opera "The Brighter Day." His TV, theater and movie credits are too many to list but he is best known for his one-man show "Mark Twain Tonight," which he has done over 3,000 times. He is married to third wife Dixie Carter, of "Designing Women."

Q: Tell me about Dale Midkiff of the new sci-fi show "Time Trax." I remember him as Elvis and the abusive husband in "The Tracy Thurman Story." What else has he done? - J.L.P., Sacramento, Calif.

A: For one thing, his first movie was a horror movie so horrible it never got released. But Midkiff, 32, also has been seen on TV in "Dallas: The Early Years," "The Marla Hansen Story," "Dream Street" and in the feature "Pet Sematary."

Q. What has happened to Linda Evans? She was a famous and beautiful actress but we haven't seen her in many years. - J.G., Pryor, Okla.

A. After "Dynasty" folded its scandals in 1989, Evans, now 50, happily settled back to live on residuals in her Washington state home with her lover, Greek musician Yanni. She's made an occasional foray into TV: a 1990 movie, "I'll Take Romance," and 1991's "Dynasty: The Reunion."
