— It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lar Park Lincoln, celebrated actress, founder of Actors Audition Studios, and America’s beloved Audition Coach, on April 22, 2025. Over her 45-year career, Lar left an unforgettable mark on Hollywood through her dynamic performances and dedication to mentoring aspiring actors.

A Dallas-based entrepreneur, Lar founded Actors Audition Studios and authored Get Started, Not Scammed. Her television legacy includes her iconic five-year role as dual characters on Knots Landing, alongside Michele Lee and William Devane, and her powerful lead performance in Children of the Night opposite Kathleen Quinlan and Mario Van Peebles. She also guest-starred alongside legends like Michael Landon, Angela Lansbury, and Christina Applegate.

Lar earned the Bronze Halo Award for her contributions to entertainment and is best remembered as the telekinetic "scream queen" Tina Sheppard in Friday the 13th Part VII.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Michael, to whom she was married for 14 years; her parents Jack and Marjorie Dale; and her brothers, Jack Jr. and Pat. She is survived by her daughter, Piper (husband Tarek); son, Trevor (wife Danielle); sister, Karen (husband Harold); brother, Michael (wife Joan); four grandchildren (Aura, Benjamin, Jack, and Mia Grace); her poodle, Charlie; and countless friends, extended family, and admirers worldwide.

The family requests privacy during this time and is grateful for the outpouring of love over Lar’s four-decade career. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The SAG-AFTRA Foundation or The Entertainment Community Fund.
