Meet the Stars of Lifetime's 'Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas'

Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Loni Anderson, Nicollette Sheridan and Morgan Fairchild

Lifetime's annual holiday event, It's a Wonderful Lifetime, gets a nostalgic makeover with this year's tentpole film, Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas. The new holiday movie stars iconic actresses Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Gray, Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan with Travis Burns and Taylor Ann Thompson added for good measure.

"The opportunity to bring together Donna, Morgan, Loni, Linda and Nicollette— five powerhouse women into one holiday movie—has been like finding the perfect gift under the Christmas tree," said executive producer Larry A. Thompson.

What is Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas about?

In Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas, five glamorous soap opera actresses reunite to share the spotlight to shoot the final Christmas episode of their long-running soap opera.

The producer, Alex (Burns) and director Nell (Thompson), who happen to be old college friends, do their best to keep things on the rails but as the ladies come together, old rivalries resurface that threaten to tear the whole production apart. With the show nearly canceled before it even begins due to the ladies' famous diva behavior, they reluctantly agree to set aside their differences and past secrets to "act" as if they all still love each other.

When old sparks reignite between Alex and Nell, the ladies become eager to play cupid and conspire to bring the couple together. Along the way, the divas also discover that the love between them is still very strong too.

The movie’s theme song "Ladies of the '80s" was written by Song Writer Hall of Fame’s Steve Dorff and Michael Jay and is performed by '80s pop sensation Tiffany.
