She passed away a week ago but her death was just confirmed today. She was 83 and the cause was lung cancer.

I never put together Carlin Glynn, Pete Masterson and Mary Stuart Masterson! RIP Carlin, I love your Miss Mona on the OBC recording. Still my favorite version.

And immortalized forever as Molly Ringwald’s mother in John Hughes’ 1983 classic SIXTEEN CANDLES.

Carlin also played Geraldine Page's overbearing daughter in law in the Oscar Winning A Trip to Bountiful directed by her husband Peter Masterson.

Something I didn't know until today is that Carlin went to high school with Tommy Tune who co-directed with Peter and that they all knew the songwriter Carol Hall from a theatre in Texas (I believe.)
