Karen Austin
Karen Austin is an American actress. She played Lana Wagner on the sitcom Night Court in 1984. Her film appearances include Summer Rental (1985), Far from Home (1989), and The Rum Diary (2011).
Austin first gained notability in the late 1970s with a string of television guest appearances on highly rated programs such as Happy Days, The Rockford Files, CHiPs, and Dallas. In the 1980s, she was a regular on the first season of the successful NBC comedy series Night Court as court clerk Lana Wagner for the first 10 episodes (but she received credits for all 13 episodes of the first season). She was asked to leave the series due to her recently diagnosed Bell's palsy which producers believed was affecting her performance. Her character was replaced by Mac Robinson (Charles Robinson) for the remaining eight seasons. Austin had a lead role as the wife of John Candy's character in Summer Rental (1985).
Austin was married to Kris Slava at age 19; the couple divorced seven years later.
