INFO: In 1962, she signed with the Ford Model Agency and enjoyed a successful career. In 1964 her family moved to Los Angeles and Peggy signed a contract with Universal Pictures the same year. She made her debut on 'The John Forsythe Show' in 1965.

Her 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, Peggy won a Golden Globe award in the category of 'Best TV Actress in a Drama'.

During the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones were regarded as one of Hollywood's major "power couples".

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".
