Star of "Knots Landing" and "Friday the 13th Part VII," Lar Park Lincoln, passes away at age 63.

Lincoln, best known for her portrayal of Tina Shepard in Friday the 13th Part VII:
The New Blood, was the telekinetic teen who faced Jason Voorhees in one of the most iconic and quirky chapters in the franchise. However, her name was not just familiar to horror lovers. She played the complex and occasionally troubled daughter-in-law of Michele Lee's Karen Fairgate for five seasons on Knots Landing, lending emotional depth to Linda Fairgate. Lincoln also performed two roles on the show: he played "Sally's friend," a pretty unusual character who appeared in eight episodes as a lifeless body, a peculiar aside in a career full of unexpected twists.

Lincoln, who was born with an expressive face and a talent
for vulnerability, starred opposite Kathleen Quinlan and Mario Van Peebles in the 1985 television film Children of the Night as a young sex worker. She then established herself as a regular on television in the 1980s and 1990s, making appearances on programs including Highway to Heaven, Hunter, Heart of the City, Outlaws, and Murder, She Wrote. Additionally, she appeared in genre fare such as Freddy's Nightmares, an anthology series, and House II: The Second Story.

Her career, which spanned decades and touched on everything from gritty TV films to charmingly campy B-horror, came to an end with her final on-screen performance in 2022's Ghost Party. However, her artistic journey encompassed more than just acting.

A fiercely independent individual, Lincoln established
a second act that included reinvention, entrepreneurship, and mentoring in Dallas. She established Actors Audition Studios to guide aspiring actors through the frequently perilous entertainment profession. For aspiring performers attempting to distinguish genuine opportunity from smoke and mirrors, her book Get Started, Not Scammed was a helpful manual.

Along with launching her own fashion brand, the Piper Alexander Collection, which pays homage to her daughter's name and her own sense of style, she also spent 19 years as a celebrity on-air guest for QVC.

Despite everything, Lar Park Lincoln stayed true to herself: kind, funny, a touch strange, and incredibly passionate about what she did. She was a woman who chose to forge her own path despite having witnessed the harsh realities of Hollywood.

Her family, which she frequently referred to as her greatest achievement, consists of her brother Michael, sister Karen, son Trevor, daughter Piper, and four grandkids.

Lar Park Lincoln's life serves as a reminder that influence does not always come from blockbusters or tabloid fame in a society that all too frequently overlooks the women who previously blazed the screen. At times, it manifests as the silent impact of an instructor, the glimmer of a late-night replay, or the smile of A horror enthusiast recalls the girl who had the ability to manipulate objects with her thoughts.
