Why Did They Do It?
Three women, who seem to have nothing in common: Abigail is a college student at Yale and daughter of one of the professors; Meredith is a married mother and owner of a bowling alley; Janet is a successful broker -- yet all of them decide to pose for Playboy magazine, shocking their friends and co-workers.

I was 20 years old when this was on TV. I think it was NBC. Lynda Carter was who I knew, but the other actresses were also good. It's about three diverse women, a Yale student, a stockbroker, and a housewife and mother of three in a small town. Since it was Playboy's movie, it makes everything glamorous and that everyone who reacts badly, like family and co-workers, as square. You might find it amusing.
