Lar Park Lincoln has died

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.
