Now I know she didn't look bad in Twin Peaks, especially for her age (44!). But I just found some photos of her on IMDb and she looked amazing!  http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1903859712/nm0005152 You can tell immediately that they're mid 60s photos but I just can't get over how beautiful she was.

If I'm not wrong she was in ALIAS the mother of Melissa George's (MD's "This is the girl" aka Camilla Rhodes) character...

Lipton is fine as an actress in TP, but my problem with her is that I don't really care about what happens with her character... In the Norma-Hank-Ed-Nadine love quadrangle I feel sorry for Ed and Nadine, but not for her, when she says that "Hank got his parole" I'm only interested because I like Hank, I don't care too much about her... On the other hand I find somewhat boring those early scenes with Norma and Hank's lawyer, her visit to jail, etc.

David Lynch must be a big fan of the Mod Squad. When Clarence Williams III was on the show you had 2 out of 3 but it was supposed to be 3 out of 3 !!!! For some reason Michael Cole being on Twin Peaks just didn't happen. Negotiations must have fallen through, apparently. It would have been great to see the Mod Squad in Twin Peaks !!!!!!!!

That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

Offtopic but related to TP and another JJ Abrams show: I loved seeing Chris Mulkey (Hank) as the leader of a marijuana-growing commune in LOST...

As someone from this board once said: "Twin Peaks actors working in projects other than Twin Peaks!! Am-ma-zing!!"

Add me to the list of those who dreaded the Dreaded Quadrangle. Yes, it was a slice of relative normalcy (Hank's position as the town's gangster for hire kept it from being the stuff of Donahue), but I doubt anyone tuned in for a show that had normal storylines. In the Pilot, a dead homecoming queen washes up on a river bank, dead, wrapped in plastic, with the letter "R" jammed under her finger; two episodes later the man investigating her death has a dream about a dancing dwarf. Any "normalcy" on the show should've served as a layer upon the weird going-ons, not a completely seperate entity to stand in juxtoposition.

The only characters I felt any sympathy for were Nadine and Ed. Nadine the most, because she was the only true innocent out of the four players; she was just this poor deluded woman who had gotten herself snagged into a one-way relationship as a pawn in the "popular kids" broken relationship. Ed basically used her/married her out of self pity; although I can't entire fault him because of Norma running away with Hank. Nevertheless, it was still wrong of him, just as it was wrong of Norma to high-tail it and wrong of Hank to high-tail it with someone else's girlfriend... Really none of this matters anyway because it's still way too terribly soap-operaish for a show that was only ostensibly a soap opera.

I remember spotting Peggy Lipton as Olivia Reed in Alias....season 3 I think it was. Still looks good for her age
