Lynn Loring in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. episode "The Test Tube Killer Affair."
Lynn Loring who went from being a child actress to an adult performer to a studio executive, died on Dec. 23 at 80, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Loring at the age of 7, "joined the new CBS soap opera Search for Tomorrow in September 1951 for the first of its 35 seasons," according to THR.
By the mid-1960s, she appeared as the college-age daughter of Inspector Lewis Erkine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) at the start of The FBI. Producer Quinn Martin decided to have the character written out of the show and the fate of Loring's Barbara Erskine was never revealed. That's how TV worked in those days.
Loring didn't lack for work. During that same 1965-66 television season she appeared in a two-part story on Amos Burke, Secret Agent and The Wild Wild West.
Loring also was a guest star on Quinn Martin's The Invaders, which starred her then-husband Roy Thinnes, and two episodes of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., including "The Test Tube Killer Affair" as a young woman who falls in love with a young Thrush killer.
Working behing the camera, she produced the film Mr. Mom, a comedy starring Michael Keaton. Loring worked as an executive for Aaron Spelling Productions and MGM-UA, according to THR.
