Lace (1984) is an American television series based on the eponymous novel by British writer Shirley Conran (b. 1932).

Film star Lili (Phoebes Cates) was put up for adoption as a newborn. The story begins around 1980 when Lili travels to an abandoned chateau in the Swiss Alps. The chateau was once a prestigious boarding school and Lili is there to meet with a person who has been paying money to family which, back in 1960, agreed to take on the child of a student who was born ‘out of wedlock’.

Lili, with the help of a private investigator, eventually finds the woman who gave birth to her.
