Peggy Lipton died Saturday of a cancer outbreak, revealing her daughters "Twin Peaks" and "Mod Squad," announced her daughters Rashida and Kadida Jones. Lipton was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2004.
Lipton won a Golden Globe and was nominated four times at the Emmy for her role as flower child, Julie Barnes, in "The Mod Squad", in which she played the lead role from 1968 to 1973.
Kyle MacLachlan and Madchen Amick, co-stars of Lipton, also paid tribute to the death of Lipton.
"I lost a sister today," wrote Amick. "She was a real angel on earth … You could not bring love into her beautiful soul and she generously shared her heart with everyone around her."
"I had the opportunity to work with Peggy for a few days on a movie," Griffin wrote. "I absolutely fell in love with her. I've always honestly thought of Peggy as … perfect.
Helen Hunt wrote simply, "It's the one I've always wanted to be.
Holly Robinon Peete, star of "21 Jump Street", described her death as "just heartbreaking loss" and said her "Jump Street" character was inspired by Lipton's role in "Mod Squad".
Rosanna Arquette wrote that Lipton, whom she had known for many years, "was an exquisite human being at every level".
