Peggy Lipton was an American model, actress, and singer.

She made her television debut at age 19 in the NBC sitcom The John Forsythe Show (1965).

She made appearances in many of the most popular television shows of the 1960s before she landed her defining role as flower child Julie Barnes in the crime drama The Mod Squad (1968-1973), for which she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series - Drama in 1970.

At 15, Lipton became a Ford Agency model and enjoyed a successful early career.

After The Mod Squad, Lipton married musician Quincy Jones and began a 15-year hiatus from acting, during which she raised her two children.
