Meg Foster on The Mod Squad

Early in her career, Meg Foster made two guest appearances on the Mod Squad television series, first in in 1970 and then again a year later. Neither role garnered her much screen time. Nevertheless, Meg Foster managed to make the most of what she had to work with and ended up with a memorable pair of appearances.

Who Are the Keepers, Who Are the Inmates? (October 6, 1970)

In Meg Foster's first Mod Squad guest role, she plays Cora, a young patient at Valhalla Sanitarium. This happens to be the same mental health institution that Mod Squad member Linc (Clarence Williams III) decides to go undercover in to expose brutal, experimental methods that he believes are being used on unsuspecting patients. Linc eventually bonds with Cora, who has gone crazy after being assaulted by a group of men.

This episode was one of the earliest examples of Meg Foster's long history of television guest appearances. She doesn't get to say much, since she is supposed to be traumatized, but she looks wonderful and gets to do some expressive acting.

Death of a Nobody (December 7, 1971)

After appearing in a third season episode of The Mod Squad, Meg Foster came back to do another small role in the fourth season. This time she plays the pregnant wife of a guy with a shady past.

Meg Foster doesn't really have much to do here (except look great) since the episode is not about her. She only really has one scene where she gets to do dialogue, but her presence is enough to brighten things up a bit.

Press for Genevieve Bujold in Journey

Here's a selection of contemporary newspaper articles and reviews relating to the film Journey, starring Genevieve Bujold and John Vernon. The movie is not very well remembered today and by all accounts did not do well financially at the time of it's release.The consensus seemed to be that Journey was photographed well but confusing for the viewer. I haven't seen the film (it has been released on VHS and, apparently, DVD), but it does sound interesting.

Kay Lenz in Rod Stewart's Infatuation music video

In 1984, Kay Lenz was the subject of Rod Stewart's "Infatuation". The music video was for the lead single from Rod's Camouflage album released in the summer of 1984. In the video, Rod Stewart plays a voyeur who is obsessed with neighbor Kay Lenz. Since she undresses all the time and struts around in a bikini, he feels the need to compulsively photograph her. Meanwhile, she is seemingly involved with the mob and some old guy is searching for her, all while Rod continues to constantly take pictures of her.

Peggy Lipton on The Virginian

In 1966, Peggy Lipton was a guest star on an episode of the long-running western TV series The Virginian. Though she had made a handful of appearances on television the previous year, this was her first really substantial role. In the episode, titled "The Wolves in Front, the Jackals Behind," Peggy Lipton was even given a special 'introducing' billing before her name rolled in the credits, signifying that the actress was really coming into her own. Of course, she was destined for bigger things and just two years later she joined the cast of the very popular Mod Squad series and became a very recognizable face on TV. Peggy Lipton was very appealing in her role on The Virginian...she looked stunning and also had very charming presence and demeanor. It's really no wonder that she would go on to find further success.
