Lar Park Lincoln dead at 63
Lar Park Lincoln has died.
The 'Knots Landing' and 'Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood' actress - whose real name was Laurie Jill Park - passed away on April 22 at the age of 63 after battling breast cancer since 2008, her company Actors Audition Studios have announced.
The firm said in a Facebook post: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lar Park Lincoln, celebrated actress, founder of Actors Audition Studios, and America's beloved Audition Coach, on April 22, 2025.
"Over her 45-year career, Lar left an unforgettable mark on Hollywood through her dynamic performances and dedication to mentoring aspiring actors.
"A Dallas-based entrepreneur, Lar founded Actors Audition Studios and authored Get Started, Not Scammed.
"Her television legacy includes her iconic five-year role as dual characters on 'Knots Landing', alongside Michele Lee and William Devane, and her powerful lead performance in 'Children of the Night' opposite Kathleen Quinlan and Mario Van Peebles.
"She also guest-starred alongside legends like Michael Landon, Angela Lansbury, and Christina Applegate.
"Lar earned the Bronze Halo Award for her contributions to entertainment and is best remembered as the telekinetic "scream queen" Tina Sheppard in Friday the 13th Part VII."
Lar is survived by her daughter Piper and son Trevor - whom she had with her late husband Michael Lincoln, who died from cancer at the age of 43 in 2015 – as well as sister Karen, brother Michael, her four grandchildren, Aura, Benjamin, Jack, and Mia, and her poodle, Charlie.
The statement continued: "The family requests privacy during this time and is grateful for the outpouring of love over Lar's four-decade career.
"In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The SAG-AFTRA Foundation or The Entertainment Community Fund."
Lar was born in Dallas, Texas, and made her acting debut in telefilm 'Children of the Night' in 1985.
Her other credits included appearances in the likes of 'Heart of the City', 'Highway to Heaven', The Princess Academy', 'Murder, She Wrote', and 'Beverly Hills, 90210'.
Lar's most famous small-screen role was the scheming Linda Fairgate in 'Knots Landing', who she played during the ninth season in 1987, before returning for the 11th season in 1989 and staying until her character was murdered during season 13.
On the big screen, she was best known for playing Tina Shepard in the gruesome horror flick, 'Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood' in 1988. She later reprised the role in 2021's 'Rose Blood: A Friday the 13th Fan Film'.
As well as acting and her business, Lar published a book in 2008 called 'Get Started, Not Scammed' - which offered advice to budding actors on how to make it in showbusiness.
She was also a guest on the QVC channel for almost 20 years, where she showed off her Piper Alexander Collection clothing line, as well as beauty and travel items.

Dasha's pre-match trash talk nothing to do with tennis
The war of words has started before their big French Open last-16 match - but with new Australian recruit Daria Kasatkina and her young friend Mirra Andreeva, the trash talk has nothing to do with tennis. It's all about the pair's 'vlogging' talent with the two of them delighted to wind each other up over their respective skills behind the camera and on the mike when they're working on Kasatkina's popular YouTube channel "What the Vlog". Giving its viewers an entertaining inside peek at the tennis scene, Kasatkina, who set up the channel with her figure skater girlfriend Natalia Zabiiako, has given her fourth-round opponent Andreeva the chance to film the odd item for them too. And it led to the opponents previewing their Paris clash on Monday with some unflattering banter about their respective media skills. Asked what she thought of Kasatkina as an interviewer, Andreeva responded amid some laughter: "I think she can improve." On hearing this, Kasatkina who had already joked "I hate her" about the uber-talented 18-year-old world No.6, doubled down in mock horror: "I was right. I hate her! "Well, Mirra is not the one to talk about it because actually she had opportunity to interview players in our Rome vlog, so she took the camera, and went to talk with someone in the players' restaurant. It was terrible! "Also, the filming skills were not on point, so she needs to learn." Then, they were keen to point out that, actually, this knockabout stuff was just the way they communicate with each other. "You know, we're just giving little s--t to each other all the time, just joking around," said Kasatkina. "We are very good with each other. We were having ice bath together right now a couple of hours ago after our (third-round) matches." When it comes to tennis, though, Kasatkina admits there's not much she can teach this soar-away French-based phenom Andreeva. "The only thing I'm helping her, it's to get on the vlog," Kasatkina said. "Honestly, Mirra, she's a very nice girl and an amazing player. We've been quite good with each other. I can even say that I think we are kind of friends. "She's super young and super talented, so she will achieve a lot of things." The two Russian-born players have practised regularly but only played once last October in a final in Ningbo, China, won by Kasatkina in three sets. "A big drama match," says the Australian, perhaps recalling how she ended up consoling the youngster, who was in floods of tears after letting a 3-0 lead slip in the final set. So what will she have to do to beat Andreeva? "I have to run a lot," she said. "Going to be long rallies. Mirra, she's not giving anything for free. You know, to get every point, I'll have to die on court. I'm ready for that."
