However, it was eventually made into a tv movie in 1981, by Barney Rosenzweig (at the time, Corday's husband). Tyne Daly was cast in the role of Mary Beth Lacey, and Loretta Swit played Christine Cagney. High ratings led to the production of the series, which began in 1982. Swit was working on M.A.S.H. and thus unavailable, so Meg Foster was replaced.
