Laura Hippe(1950-1986)
- Actress
Slim, lovely and appealing brunette actress Laura Lorene Hippe was born
on September 22, 1950, in Oklahoma. She was especially charming and
memorable as the sweet Jenny in the entertainingly trashy drive-in
exploitation romp
The Swinging Barmaids (1975).
She had small parts in the mainstream studio pictures
Stay Hungry (1976) and
Logan's Run (1976). She made guest
appearances on such series as
Cannon (1971),
Barnaby Jones (1973) and
Baretta (1975). Her final film role
was a minor part as the overbearing Aunt Cora Nomed in the schlocky
low-budget horror outing
Mausoleum (1983).
Laura was also a member of a local California Scientology cult, as well as a drama teacher who taught acting classes in Hollywood in the mid-'80s. Hippe committed suicide at the tragically young age of 35 on February 21, 1986.
