Lar Park Lincoln death: Her unforgettable journey in film
Born in Dallas in 1961, Lincoln launched her acting career with roles in the 1985 TV movie Children of the Night, followed by appearances in popular series like Outlaws and Hunter. But her big breakthrough came when she played Tina Shepard in Friday the 13th Part VII, a fan-favorite entry in the horror franchise. Her portrayal of a telekinetic teenager who faces off against Jason Voorhees cemented her place as a genre icon.
Lincoln’s contribution to horror didn’t stop there—she also had a memorable role in Freddy’s Nightmares in 1988. Fellow actress Jennifer Banko, who acted alongside Lincoln, honored her on Instagram with a touching tribute, saying, “Forever our Scream Queen. Forever our Tina Shepard.”

In the world of soap operas, Lincoln portrayed Linda Fairgate on Knots Landing, starting in the show’s ninth season. Known for playing a character fans loved to hate, she later reflected on how her transformation—from brunette to blonde troublemaker—surprised audiences and helped make Linda such a compelling figure.
After Knots Landing, Lincoln made guest appearances on Murder, She Wrote, Beverly Hills: 90210, Space: Above and Beyond, and the 2022 indie film Ghost Party. She also spent time mentoring aspiring actors, publishing the book Get Started Not Scammed in 2008, and even worked as a QVC celebrity guest host.
Lincoln received the Bronze Halo Award for her contributions to the industry. She is survived by her two children, Piper and Trevor, her sister, brother, four grandchildren, and her beloved poodle.
Her family has requested privacy and expressed appreciation for the outpouring of love during this difficult time. Donations in her memory can be made to The SAG-AFTRA Foundation or The Entertainment Community Fund.
