Lar Park Lincoln IS DEAD TO ME!

No!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird name. Never heard of her until this post.

Friday the 13th The New Blood was the first horror movie I ever saw

[quote] Friday the 13th Part VII Final Girl and Knot's Linda Fairgate dead at 63.

The passing away of a true Hollywood ICON!

63?????

I do love this Friday the 13th - like r3 it was one of the first horror movies I saw; probably not THE first but it was I think the first Friday the 13th movie I saw and so it always held a special place in my heart as a Slasher fan. It's so goofy, with her telekinetic powers and her whore-bitch mom who looks like the biggest dyke on earth. You can tell they edited this one down, gore-wise. But it has a couple of hot guys in it that got half naked and were definitely an excuse to keep renting this from the video store and rewind and pause their nudity back when that was how we got that sort of thing.

I remember her from Knots Landing, and that's about it.

It was that Brian Johnston. i saw him heading over to the MacKenzie’s with a knife!

In the Friday the 13th film, wasn’t she the Final Girk with the telekinetic powers?

Her Linda Fairgate character in Knots Landing was a BITCH and her death was pretty graphic for its day. They didn’t show her neck getting slashed but they did show the blood splatter on her shoes. Unforgettable!

This person in OP's photo is 63??

Lar as Linda, fighting with Michele Lee’s Karen.

Lar Park Lincoln IS OBSCURE AND DEAD TO ME!

Well...it's more than *I've* done.

Now I'm wondering about Park Overall.

[quote]her whore-bitch mom who looks like the biggest dyke on earth

Susan Blu, who was also the voice of Stormer of the Misfits in "Jem."

She did very well at horror conventions.

She had a stupid name but she couldn’t live forever

She was great on Knots. Her murder came as a complete shock, both in timing and in method.

I always wondered if the hairstylists on the show hated her, though.

She was in the gay Friday the 13th. Almost every male character was played by a gay actor. I think the lady that played her mom was a lesbian.

We couldn’t get Freddy vs Jason yet so we got Jason vs Carrie,

I know all the gay boys gushed over Kevin Spirtas but I thought the sci fi geek in his tighty whiteys was soooo cute.

Her birth name is Laurie Jill Park

Has Michelle Lee weighed in yet?

[quote]her whore-bitch mom who looks like the biggest dyke on earth

Sue Blu IS a lesbian.

F13th The New Blood is known as FriGAY the 13th amongst horror fans because of all the gay actors in it.

Oh my God, this is sad. I watch The New Blood all the time and I love Lar as Tina.

Rest In Peace. 😢

That's wild that she was in scenes in Knot's Landing with an old friend who never made it as an actress and moved into makeup, and another college friend - a gay lead in FriGay The 13th - who ended up being a personal assistant in the midwest. Ah, Hollywood.

Why were all the blondes on Knots such bitches?

Always loved "Friday the 13th: The New Blood". Obviously not a revelatory piece of art, but it's a fun sequel and Lincoln was good in it. I remember there was a widely circulated rumor online years ago that her co-star, Susan Jennifer Sullivan (who played the wonderful cunt Melissa) had died, but this was later determined to be untrue.

Any self-respecting gay horror fan will know of "The New Blood" because it is the quintessential gay "Friday the 13th" film—as others have noted above, literally almost all of the male leads in it are gay, and you can kind of tell.

You can totally hear the purses fall out of Kevin Spirtas’s mouth when he yells “Melissa!”

She battled breast cancer for years.

The black guy in Part 7 was flaming.

She fucked both of Karen's sons, that has to earn her some kind of DL Legend Status

She was a good addition to Knots Landing in its final, waning seasons. The writers really screwed up by killing her off.

She was one of those actors who should had a longer, more prominent career but it never happened.

Im sorry to read.abour her passing.

Michele Lee and Donna Mills posted nice tributes to her.

Felissa Rose posted a nice tribute too

Felissa is a sweetheart.

I agree r33. That’s what made her death scene so shocking. You weren’t expecting it. She played bitch very well and I would have loved to see her give that overrated Paige Matheson, the blues.

"The family requests privacy during this time ..."

We can indeed accommodate that.

This is sad. I loved her as Tina in F13: The New Blood. I didn't know she had battled breast cancer in the past. I am guessing this is what she died of. Usually when breast cancer recurs, it comes back with a vengeance.

She did an episode of Murder, She Wrote set around the Psycho house

What was on her iPod, and can I have her stuff?

I remember her from Knots Landing . She joined the cast in 1987 as the new bride of Eric Fairgate (Steve Shaw), who were 'visiting' the family ( I believe he met her across the country when he had taken a job out of college). Shaw returned to the series after an absence of a few years (he really was in college during his absence), and the writers were considering bringing this young couple back into the 'cul de sac', as thy were looking to bring 'new younger faces' into the mix to replace the older actors (Lar Park was going to be the 'new Abby' played by Donna Mills, who was departing the series in May,1989). Unfortunately, those plans ended when Shaw tragically died in an auto accident in December, 1990.

As the writers were focused on bringing in more new fresh young faces starting in the 1990-91 season, they realized viewers really wanted 'Linda Fairgate' back. Lar Park returned to the series,for seasons 11-13, now as the new love interest of 'Michael Faorgate' (Pat Petersen) as she left her husband Eric 'back east'. She was the new villain in the family,

The actress was born 'Laurie Jill Lincoln' on May 12, 1961. She had her nickname 'Lar' since she was a little girl, and used it professionally when she started acting as a child (there was already a Laurie Lincoln in SAG). She eventually left acting and opened a successful acting school outside of LA. She later married, and had two children (a son and daughter). Over the years, she lost both her parents, her sibling and her husband to cancer. Her husband died 10 years ago from cancer, and it was shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Though no cause of death has been officially reported, it's believed it was breast cancer which ended her life this past Tuesday, a few weeks before her 64th birthday. She left behind her kids, their spouses, and grandchildren.

I was a big fan of Knots Landing back in the day, and I had a friend (who sadly passed away from AIDS) who as a super fan of the show. We would often watch the show together, and he hated the character of Linda Fairgate. Whenever she appeared on screen, he'd exclaim, "Ugh. It's LAR Park Lincoln," emphasizing her dumb sounding first name. Reading of her passing, I'm imagining my friend encountering her in the beyond and saying, "Ugh. It's LAR Park Lincoln."

From what I understand, unlike most actresses who need to be convinced to do horror, both she and her husband were ecstatic when she landed the final girl role in Friday. Apparently they were both huge horror films/Friday fans and this was a real "get" for her.

I always liked that about her.

She also was very well loved at shows and very loving to her fans.

Joan Van Ark outlived her.

She'll never have that recipe agaaaaaaain!

I remember the clumsy way they made Linda into a blonde on KL by her saying she wanted to be more environmentally aware and it have chemicals in her hair so she was going back to her original color.

No way she was originally blonde.

It’s too bad Linda wasn’t around full time when Abby was on the show. Linda got under Karen’s skin the way Abby did.

Why does no one ever talk about me, Polly, and my 6-episode (almost contiguous episodes) arc in 1989-90?

Has Claudia Lonow commented?

I’m waiting for Constance McCashen’s statement.

I'm more familiar with her brother, Hot Rod Lincoln.

I forgot to add she had married a man named Tim Park in 1981, who was also trying to break into acting. Hence her name Lar (her nickname, short for Laurie), Park Lincoln. Her husband died of cancer in 2015.

She was born Laurie Jill Park in Dallas on May 12, 1961.

The husband that died in 2015 was Michael Lincoln.

Who?

I'm verklempt.

[quote] I’m waiting for Constance McCashen’s statement.

I can't. A big rock landed on my face.

She was really gorgeous on Knots.

No one seems to share your outrage, r47

Now it makes sense why it’s one of my favorite Jason movies as it had a gay cast.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw it. It was on TV as I was waking up in the morning as a kid and the Mom was running through the woods with her bad 80s hair screaming “TINAAAA” and she got held down and Jason shoved some sort of stick through her.

Traumatized me as a kid lol.

How sad. Just as she was getting ready to kick off her "Lar Park Lincoln sings Linkin Park" cabaret tour.

First performance was at MacArthur Park I believe.

Best Paige/Linda scenes.

They really f'kd up firing LPL. She really was a great foil for Nicolette.

And this one if it hasn't already been posted. LPL was also a great foil for Michelle.
