Lynn Carlin (born Mary Lynn Reynolds on January 31, 1938, in Los Angeles) is an American actress.
She was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1968 for her role in Faces. Carlin made her stage debut in Clare Boothe Luce's The Women at the Laguna Beach Playhouse.
She was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of socialite Muriel Elizabeth (née Ansley 1909-1993) and Laurence 'Larry' Reynolds. Her father was a Hollywood business manager in the 1930s.
Carlin, a secretary-turned-actress, earned her only Academy Award nomination in 1968 for her first feature role, as John Marley's suicidal wife, Maria, in John Cassavetes' Faces (1968). She subsequently played wives and mothers before retiring in 1987. She next appeared in ...tick...tick...tick... (1970), as George Kennedy's ambitious, henpecking wife, and returned to the offbeat as Buck Henry's wife, searching for her missing daughter amid the hippies and drug culture of 1970s New York in Miloš Forman's Taking Off (1971). The same year she appeared in Blake Edwards' western Wild Rovers. In 1972, she was re-teamed with John Marley, again as his wife, in Bob Clark's Vietnam-era horror film Deathdream, and her other film roles include the British drama film Baxter! (1973) as the mother of Scott Jacoby, the 1979 comedy French Postcards, and the 1982 horror film Superstition.
