    I had met Lara Parker several times at the many Dark Shadows Festivals held in Los Angeles over the years. She was such a sweet and lovely woman. Rest in peace beautiful lady.

    To me, Angelique was one of THE most infuriating villains in fiction, not just television, played to delicious perfection by Lara Parker! She was always trying to keep Barnabas and Josette ( my 1st crush) apart; Oh, the joy I felt when I saw actual terror in Angelique's beautiful eyes, as the time travelling Spirit of Josette tried to take her revenge on the witch, at long last!
    I believe a heroine only becomes great when challenged by great obstacles or villainy, and Angelique was a quite a villain!
    Rest well, Lara, your legend lives on!

    I couldn't stand Angelique, maybe because the writers never created competition almost equal to hers and also because she made Barnabas so miserable.

    Lara Parker also played Laura Banner, the wife of David Banner in the Hulk TV series, whose premature death in a car crash spawned her husband's obsession "to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have." Which ultimately gives birth to The Incredible Hulk.
    Lara was absolutely delicious as Angelique. I loved it whenever she appeared on the series.

    Is it not pronounced “Lara” where the “lar” is like “car”? I’ve always loved that both her character name and her real name are unusually intriguing. “Laura” just seems ordinary because I’ve known 5 Lauras in my life (so no disrespect intended).
