Although specific details regarding her passing have not been disclosed, it is known that Lincoln had been courageously battling breast cancer since the late 2000s, enduring multiple surgeries throughout her struggle. The Actors Audition Studios tribute expressed her lasting impact on Hollywood:
“Over her 45-year career, Lar left an unforgettable mark on Hollywood through her dynamic performances and dedication to mentoring aspiring actors.”

Her extensive acting portfolio also includes guest roles in classic shows like Freddy’s Nightmares, Hunter, and Murder, She Wrote.
Her Personal Life
In December 1981, Lar married Michael Martin Lincoln, with whom she shared a life until his untimely death in 1995. They were parents to two children: Piper Annette, born in 1990, and Trevor Alexander, born in 1993. In remembrance of her husband, who passed away after a two-and-a-half-year battle with cancer at the age of 43, Lar reflected on their experiences establishing a home hospice in San Antonio during his final days.
Lar took a break from acting following the losses of her husband and parents, Jack and Marjorie Dale, returning to her Texas hometown to raise her children. Grieving her family deeply, her journey was marked by remarkable resilience, as noted by her assistant:
“Lar’s personal journey has been marked by resilience, facing advanced breast cancer, navigating encounters with stalkers, and coping with the profound loss of both her husband and parents, all while raising her young children.”
