‏Laura Hippe‏

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.
