The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Lar Park Lincoln, an actress whose grace, strength, and talent left a lasting mark on fans and colleagues alike. She passed away in April 2025 at the age of 63.
Lar Park Lincoln will forever be remembered for her unforgettable portrayal of Tina Shepard in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988), a role that redefined the “final girl” trope with empathy, courage, and psychic power. Her performance gave horror fans one of the genre’s most iconic heroines — a vulnerable yet powerful young woman battling more than just a masked killer.
But Lar’s influence stretched far beyond the screen. With a career that included memorable roles in Knots Landing, Hunter, and House II: The Second Story, she built a diverse body of work while remaining deeply connected to the horror and sci-fi communities. Her presence at fan conventions was always warm and generous, and she was beloved for her authenticity and gratitude toward those who supported her.
In later years, she became a mentor to aspiring actors, teaching classes, writing her book Get Started, Not Scammed, and opening doors for countless talents trying to navigate the complexities of the entertainment world. Her legacy as a teacher, guide, and advocate for ethical industry practices is as meaningful as her work on screen.
Lar Park Lincoln was also a survivor — of personal tragedy, illness, and the often brutal pressures of Hollywood. She faced life’s challenges with remarkable resilience, sharing her story openly and offering strength to others who needed it.
In her final years, Lar continued to inspire with her creativity, humor, and heartfelt connection to her fans. She didn’t just play a survivor — she lived as one. Her life was a testament to the power of persistence, empathy, and courage.
Today, we honor not only a star of horror cinema, but a woman of tremendous heart. Rest in peace, Lar. Your spirit lives on in every scream, every story, and every soul you touched.
