Breathing Out Full Description
Though the actress Peggy Lipton's career has been lacking in significant dramatic roles, the star of 1960s cult cop show has more than made up for it with her action-packed off-screen life. Her autobiography, Breathing Out, documents her Long Island childhood, her early modeling career, and her first big Hollywood break, playing the role of Darrin Stephens's secretary in the TV comedy Bewitched. But most of Lipton's narrative is taken up with her many romantic liaisons, which include notable '60s and '70s celebrities like Paul McCartney, who dumps her for a photographer called Linda Eastman, and a drug-addled Elvis Presley, who, despite being a good kisser, is unable to consummate their relationship. She drops acid with Terence Stamp, hangs out with London's rock elite, including the Who's Keith Moon, and, in her own words, has an intimate relationship with turmoil. After the collapse of her 14-year marriage to record producer Quincy Jones, with whom she has two daughters, she suffers a nervous breakdown, but eventually achieves a kind of equilibrium (after recalling her early sexual abuse by an uncle) with meditation. Frank, humorous, and entertaining, Breathing Out is a candid self-portrait from a Hollywood survivor.From The Publisher:Peggy Lipton's overnight success as Julie Barnes on television's hit The Mod Squad made her an instant fashion icon and the it girl everyone-from Elvis to Paul McCartney-wanted to date. She was the original and ultimate California girl of the early seventies, complete with stick-straight hair, a laid-back style, and a red convertible. But Lipton was much more: smart and determined to not be just another leggy blonde, she struggled for a way to stay connected to her childhood roots, though her coming of age had not been an easy one. And when she fell in love with Quincy Jones, that wasn't easy, either: their biracial marriage made headlines and changed her life.Lipton's passionate and complicated seventeen-year marriage to Jones plunged her into motherhood and also into periods of confusion and difficulty. Her struggle to keep moving forward in the world while maintaining a rich inner life informed many of her decisions as an adult. When Lipton's marriage to Jones ended, she returned to television, appearing in David Lynch's Twin Peaks as well as in The Vagina Monologues and other stage productions. But her most recent triumph has been her overcoming a surprising diagnosis of colon cancer in 2003.Breathing Out is full of fresh stories of life with the pop culture icons of our times, but is also a much more thoughtful book about life in the limelight, work, motherhood, and marriage. It's a refreshing and real look at the life of an actress who became, in many senses, a woman of her times.About The Author:Peggy Lipton has most recently appeared onstage in The Guys and The Vagina Monologues and on te
