Quincy Jones Ex-Wife: Meet Peggy Lipton

Quincy Jones was married to actress Peggy Lipton. After Peggy married Jones in 1974, she took a hiatus from acting to concentrate on her family. The couple had two daughters, Kidada and Rashida, who both became actresses. Lipton and Jones separated in 1986 and divorced in 1989.

Lipton’s father arranged her first modelling jobs in New York, while her mother encouraged her to take acting lessons. At 15, she became a Ford Agency model and enjoyed a successful early career. After she and her family moved to Los Angeles in 1964, Lipton signed a contract with Universal Pictures.

Aside from modelling and acting, Lipton was also a singer. As a singer, three of her singles landed on the Billboard charts: Stoney End and Lu.

Lipton and her husband, Quincy Jones, along with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, co-wrote the 1984 Frank Sinatra hit, L.A. Is My Lady.
