Where Are They Now - Friday, June 30, 2017

Hello fans,

I've been watching some rather forgettable '80s horror flicks as of late. The latest one was a dub entitled 'House II: The Second Story' which starred Lar Park-Lincoln which some prime-time soap fans and Friday the 13th fans may recall. She was Linda Fairgate on Knots Landing and the telekinetic psychic Tina Shepard in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.

What's she been doing these days? Let's see what she's been doing.

Take care,
Steve
