You're right! And she was beautiful. RIP.

The Mod Squad,' 'Adam-12' and how TV brought the counterculture into 1968's cop shows:

Julie Barnes of Mod Squad.

Loved that show...I have 4 of 5 seasons on DVD.
First three seasons were best.

She was married to uber talented musician/producer Quincy Jones.

She had it all, jewish, smart, talented, and pretty well into middle age.

She met and hung out with Paul McCartney in 1965 when the Beatles were
in the Los Angeles area, renting a mansion in the Hollywood Hills.
You can google pics of them together.

I had such a girl crush on her growing up. I totally tried to emulate her looks all through high school.



She really was an avatar for female beauty in the late 60's and early 70's.

She died of that blasted cancer . She was the it girl for all of us in the 1970s . May she rest in peace .
