Happy Birthday today to actress Peggy Lipton. Known best for her roll on television's "The Mod Squad," Peggy Lipton has worked as a character actress for decades, appearing on dozens of television programs.

"The Mod Squad" was remade as a feature film in 1999 with a new cast, generating a fairly unimpressive response. During the heyday of the show's original television run (1968-1973), the show enjoyed a healthy level of pop culture success including many tie-in items, including a Dell comic book series detailing the squad's "Groovey," "Outasite" adventures.
