Career[]
Philipp first came to national prominence in 1968 when she was hired as one of the two female vocalists in the second iteration of Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66, debuting on their Top Ten best-selling album, Fool on the Hill. She remained with Brasil '66 (and its successor group, Brasil '77) until 1972 to pursue an acting career.
She portrayed Lt. Dish in the first season of M*A*S*H. Though her role was written out of the series after two episodes, a shot including her was used in the opening credits for the remainder of the series. She later had a recurring role on Quincy, M.E. as Robin Rollin (seasons 3 to 6).
Philipp also posed nude in a pictorial in the September 1972 issue of Playboy promoting her role in M*A*S*H.[1]
Personal life[]
Philipp married movie producer Pat Proft and they have a son. They reside in Medina, Minnesota.[2]
