- Replies 1
Shock and sadness are felt across the entertainment world following the sudden loss of a performer whose unforgettable work resonated deeply with audiences.
Known for bringing complexity and intrigue to a beloved television series, the performer has passed away at 63, leaving fans and colleagues grieving as details surrounding the cause remain undisclosed.
Lar Park Lincoln's journey to stardom began when she joined the cast of Knots Landing in 1987.
She quickly became one of the most captivating and talked-about characters on television.
Linda Fairgate, with her fierce attitude and dramatic flair, was a character that audiences found irresistibly wicked yet utterly entertaining.
Lar herself once reflected on the appeal of her character, saying, 'I would guess Linda was popular because she was so rotten and so fun at the same time.'
Her character's arc on the show was nothing short of a rollercoaster, filled with scandalous affairs and shocking plot twists that kept viewers glued to their screens.
Linda's tumultuous life on the show came to a dramatic conclusion in 1991 when her character met a grisly end, murdered by her lover in a storyline that would be remembered as one of the show's most gripping moments.
Lar's transformation into Linda Fairgate was a testament not just to her acting prowess but also to her ability to adapt and embrace change.
She once shared a behind-the-scenes anecdote about how the show's creator, David Jacobs, decided to change her appearance from brunette to blonde, which would shock viewers and cement Linda's image as the 'blonde meanie.'
Beyond the world of soap operas, Lar Park Lincoln's career spanned various genres, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
She starred in the 1988 horror film Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood, where she bravely faced off against the iconic villain Jason Voorhees, earning her a special place among horror fans.
Her talent also shone in guest roles on legendary TV series such as Murder, She Wrote and Beverly Hills, 90210, and as a familiar face on the QVC home shopping channel.
Born Laurie Jill Park in Dallas, Texas, Lar knew she was destined for the spotlight from a young age.
Her early career as a model paved the way for her breakout role in the 1985 TV movie Children Of The Night, where she portrayed the harrowing life of a teenage prostitute.
This role was a turning point for Lar, as she learned the importance of empathy in her craft, a principle that would guide her throughout her career.
Lar's passion for acting extended beyond her performances.
She was dedicated to nurturing the next generation of talent through her Actors Audition Studios in Dallas, where she coached aspiring performers.
Her commitment to helping others was further demonstrated in her 2008 book, Get Started Not Scammed, which offered invaluable advice to those navigating the entertainment industry.
Throughout her life, Lar faced significant health challenges, including a battle with breast cancer that involved 17 surgeries over five years.
Her resilience and candidness about her struggles resonated with fans and fellow actors alike, making her passing poignant.
Lar's company, Actors Audition Studios, announced her passing with a request for privacy from her family during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, they have suggested donations to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation or the Entertainment Community Fund.
Lar's personal life was marked by her strength and compassion, qualities that were evident in her marriage to her late husband, Michael Lincoln, who passed away from cancer in 2015.
She was a proud mother to her children, Piper and Trevor, and a doting grandmother to Audra, Benjamin, Jack, and Mia. She is also survived by her siblings, Karen and Michael.
As we remember Lar Park Lincoln, we celebrate her contributions to the world of entertainment and the legacy she leaves behind.
Her performances, mentorship, and courage in the face of adversity will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and the countless fans who will continue to cherish her memory.
