Paper Dolls is an American primetime television soap opera that aired for 14 episodes on ABC from September 23 to December 25, 1984. Set in New York's fashion industry, the show centered on top modeling agency owner Racine (Morgan Fairchild), her conflicts with the family of cosmetics tycoon Grant Harper (Lloyd Bridges), and the careers of two teenaged models (Terry Farrell and Nicollette Sheridan). The series was based on a 1982 television film of the same name. The show suffered in the ratings, despite positive reviews, and was cancelled midway through the first season. 1982 television film Prior to the television series, a television film had been made and shown in 1982. The television film was based more around modeling than the fashion industry, and featured Joan Hackett, Jennifer Warren, Joan Collins, Daryl Hannah, and Alexandra Paul in the roles that were taken by Fairchild, Sheridan, and Farrell in the series (Warren and Jeffrey Richman were the only two actors to appear in both the television film and the 1984 series). The film's theme song was "Paper Doll", written by Mark Snow and performed by Brock Walsh. 1984 television series In 1984, MGM decided to produce a weekly series based on the television film for ABC, recasting several of the original roles from the 1982 production.

Grant was well-meaning, but he could be relentless and stubborn in getting his own way with business and his family. Playing both sides was Grant's son Wesley (Dack Rambo), who craved more power in the family business and allied himself romantically with Racine. (Wesley also resented his father, whom he blamed for the accidental death of his mother, Grant's first wife, Virginia.) Grant was then married to his second wife, Marjorie (Nancy Olson). Wesley's half-sister, Blair Harper Fenton (Mimi Rogers; Marjorie was her mother) was a supermodel, (in fact, she was Racine's first client when she opened her modeling agency, and she was also considered a good friend of Racine's) who was fearing her career was on the downslide now that she was 30 years old and pregnant. Despite health problems, Blair was determined to carry her baby to full term. Grant tended to fawn over
