Love is a Many Splendored Thing is an American daytime soap opera which aired on CBS from Monday, September 18, 1967 to Friday, March 23, 1973. The series was created by Irna Phillips, who served as the first headwriter. She was replaced by Jane and Ira Avery in 1968, who were followed by Ann Marcus in late 1969. James Lipton served as the final headwriter. John Conboy was the producer.
A sort of sequel to the 1955 movie, "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" first involved Mia Elliot, a Korean immigrant who fell in love with Paul Bradley and Dr. Jim Abbott. These interracial relationships stirred trouble for those involved. As time went on, the plot moved away from Mia (with Mia leaving town), and focused on long-suffering Laura Donnelly, a nun who eventually gave up her vows for the love of Mark Elliot. Written by KR
