My Take
Peggy Lipton fascinates me as a performer who defined two different eras of television. As Julie Barnes in The Mod Squad she embodied late-sixties counterculture cool, earning a Golden Globe and multiple Emmy nominations; two decades later she returned as Norma Jennings in Twin Peaks, all warmth and quiet melancholy behind a diner counter. Model, singer, writer — she had genuine range, yet never seemed to chase the spotlight. There is a gentleness to her screen presence that modern television rarely produces. Her passing in 2019 closed a chapter, but the luminous ease she brought to every frame still holds up beautifully.
