Ned Daly was trained as stage actor in Massachusetts, USA. In the late
1970's he relocated to Hollywood, working with film directors Alan
Arkush and Miklos Gyulai. He spent most of the next three decades
traveling extensively in Europe and North America.
In the early 2000's Daly collaborated with the Hamilton Library at the
University of Hawai'i to preserve over 1,000 color images of the
Western Pacific. This archive is now known as The Margo Duggan
Collection. In 2007 he founded the annual A.J. Liebling Invitational
Short Fiction Conference to celebrate the works of the eponymous
American journalist/media critic, and the ideas of the Argentinean
fantasist Jorge Luis Borges.
A citizen of the United States and the Republic of Ireland, Daly is
married to the award-winning watercolorist and collagiste Nancy Miller
Daly.
