Actress and former model Peggy Lipton, who rose to stardom in the late 1960s on the counterculture police series “The Mod Squad” and later starred on TV’s “Twin Peaks,” has died.
Her death from cancer was announced Saturday by Kidada and Rashida Jones, her daughters from a marriage to famed music producer Quincy Jones.
“She made her journey peacefully with her daughters and nieces by her side,” Lipton’s daughters said in a statement to The Times. “We feel so lucky for every moment we spent with her.”
Born in New York on Aug. 30, 1946, Lipton began modeling at age 15 and quickly found herself in demand. At age 19, she made her television debut on the sitcom “The John Forsythe Show,” going on to make appearances on such series as “Bewitched,” “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour” and “The Virginian.”

I just watched her in that dog movie with Dennis Quaid.
Sad. Part of my childhood.
RIP. Glad to see her character of Norma and that of Everett McGill’s Big Ed Hurley got a happy ending in the latest “Twin Peaks” series. I think they’re the only ones who did.
At some point after Wikipedia started, I browsed through Jackson's filmography, couldn't find Mod Squad, and realized that someone else had played that role.
Almost as crazy, I recently saw Rogue One for the first time on cable. I thought “Jyn” was Rashida Jones - Peggy Lipton's daughter.
NO! - Jyn was Felicity Jones, an English actress!
Regardless of my confusion, when Mod Squad came out 1968, every guy in my high school crew was totally infatuated with Peggy Lipton.
Farewell to a beautiful lady - forever young in my eyes.
Holly is the daughter of the original “Gordon” on Sesama Street.
She has four children!
Oops! SesamE Street

Campy....
