The Red Death 87 Posted October 17, 2023 10 hours ago, TomTomTelekom said: Actress Lara Parker, who became known for playing Angelique on the show Dark Shadows, died at 84 years: https://extratv.com/2023/10/16/lara-parker-angelique-on-cult-favorite-dark-shadows-dies-at-84/ She appeared also in Oscar-winning drama Save the Tiger beside Jack Lemmon. I believe she was the oldest notable woman with the first name Lara (before the name spiked in popularity in the mid 1960s, following the release of the movie Dr. Zhivago). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted October 17, 2023 NB that Lara Parker's real name was Mary Lamar Rickey. She probably became Lara Parker around the time of Dr Zhivago, as her first credits date from 1967. Sad to hear she's gone. From 2007 to about 2010 I watched the complete run of Dark Shadows on DVD and loved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the oldest notable woman with the first name Lara born after the movie came out is Lara Jill Miller (born April 20, 1967), who starred in Gimme a Break! in the 80s and voices Lisa Loud from The Loud House.

A quick search of Free BMD reveals that the name Lara was by no means unknown before Dr Zhivago, with the first candidate being one Lara Careless registered in 1841. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,584 Posted November 1, 2023 Recent interview with Oscar-winning actress Lee Grant (wiki) from late September. Confirms she was born in 1925 (not the later years that are thrown around elsewhere online). After she tells the interviewer this and he doesn't react she responds with "Wait a minute, you’re supposed to react to that, kid! You’re supposed to say ‘What?! You’re kidding!’ Do your part. You’re supposed to react to that." Sounds quite sharp. A future centenarian? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
