Actress Lar Park Lincoln, 63, died of breast cancer on April 22. She was a rising young starlet (Friday the 13th: The New Blood, Highway to Heaven, Fatal Charm) when cast as colorful villainess Linda Fairgate on Knots Landing (from 1987-91). She continued working in such fare as Beverly Hills 90210, Murder She Wrote, Space: Above and Beyond, Expulsion, and Ghost Party. Lincoln told the Knots Landing site that she was keeping busy despite the slow-down of her acting career: “We put products on QVC, I do live on-air hosting for the beauty line which is interesting because it’s live speaking with very little delay on the phone. I’ve been writing; producing a video called Getting Started and Not Scammed . . . I want to show how to avoid people taking advantage of those trying to get a start in acting, and the scams that go on all across the country. I started on my own at 16 and I did not come from a family with money; I only had two pairs of blue jeans in a little apartment. I’ve been doing public service seminars about this and they’re going to be filmed for a video.” Lincoln is survived by her son and daughter; her husband died (also from cancer) in 2015.
