Lara Parker of Dark Shadows Fame is DEAD TO ME!!!! at 84

“I have sad news . . . my beautiful, beloved friend Lara Parker passed away Thursday, October 12. I'm heartbroken, as all of us are who knew and loved her. She graced our lives with her beauty and talent, and we are all richer for having had her in our lives. Family meant more than anything to Lara, and they have wanted these few days since her passing to themselves. Rest in peace, my cherished friend.”

- Kathryn Scott

I had a terrific crush on her when I was 7? -- 8? She was beautiful and played that part so well! May she RIP.

Angelique may have been the best character on DS. Passionate, impulsive, vindictive and powerful, she always made things happen. Other villains on the show (and there were plenty) didn’t want to cross her.

I only have 25 bleeping more episodes to go! I don't even remember how many years ago I started. Oh bleep now I have to watch the movies. May Lara go to that special place in heaven for witches who redeemed themselves.

Lara was so sexy and erotic in the subsequent "Night of Dark Shadows" film.

In that rendering, they had her playing opposite David Selby,

As I mentioned on the other thread (Agree that the search function no longer works), I've always found her to be strikingly beautiful.

I loved her, and I always will.

Every time I stop Dark Shadows for a while, I always forget what happened and have to go back and re-watch. It's been over a year since I left off and I am not going back and rewatching 550 episodes.

I thought she was the most beautiful woman when I watched DS when I was in 7th and 8th grade. Loves Angelique and Cassandra.

I'm shocked.

This one hurts.

Will her funeral have anything spooky?

by Anonymousreply 18October 17, 2023 3:29 AM

Poor old thing. Did she ever sell that pink car she drove around Hollywood?

Born "Mary." I wonder if she became "Lara" after "Doctor Zhivago" was published. Jane Fonda was her roommate at Vassar. Fonda turned down the role of Lara in the movie of "Zhivago," and later said that was a big mistake.

I can't believe Fonda turned down Lara. Her career was mostly dumb comedies at that point.
