Peggy Lipton
Lipton was born in New York City to Rita and Harold Lipton. She attended Lawrence High School (New York), and Hollywood Professional School. In 1962, she signed with the Ford Model Agency and enjoyed a successful career. In 1964 her family moved to Los Angeles and Lipton signed a contract with Universal Pictures the same year. She made her debut on The John Forsythe Show in 1965.
Lipton's star rose on The Mod Squad in 1968 and the show was a runaway hit until 1973. Her performance on the show earned her 4 Golden Globe nominations during her tenure. In 1971, Lipton won a Golden Globe award in the category of 'Best TV Actress in a Drama'. Lipton also enjoyed some success as a singer with three of her singles landing on the Billboard Charts
The fresh-faced flower child quickly became a pop culture icon among the youth of her generation. However, the young star was far more interested in settling down and starting a family than maintaining her celebrity status.
Spiritually curious, Lipton explored several religions including Hinduism and Scientology. She dated Elvis Presley for a while, but their relationship ended not long after she tried to convince Elvis to join the Church of Scientology.
In 1974, Lipton married music mogul Quincy Jones and began a self-imposed hiatus from acting in order to devote herself to their growing family. The couple had two daughters: Kidada Jones, a fashion stylist, and the actress, Rashida Jones. During the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones were regarded as one of Hollywood's major "powercouples". Her ever-increasing focus on her faith and her husband's demanding career eventually created distance in the marriage. They were amicably divorced in 1990 and remain close friends. In 2001, she collaborated with Jones on his book, Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones
After her divorce, Lipton returned to acting and joined the cast of David Lynch's groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks. Lipton also had a recurring role on the TV show Popular. She continues to appear in a number of films and television shows. Lipton's commitment to healthy living and fitness has been consistent. She appeared as an assistant instructor in one of Jane Fonda's workout videos. Her bone structure is cited as a reason for continued success as a fashion model appearing in beauty magazine editorials. In 2002 she was voted TV Guide's 5th 'Sexiest Star of All Time'.
In 2004, Lipton was diagnosed with colon cancer. She has undergone treatment and appears to be in remission. In 2005, she published her memoir Breathing Out, in which she revealed she had a tryst with Paul McCartney before finding fame on 'The Mod Squad.
Throughout the years Lipton has supported a number of charities, among them Break The Cycle.
