Lynne Thigpen (December 22, 1948 – March 12, 2003) was an American actress.
She was born Cherlynne Theresa Thigpen in Joliet, Illinois, and obtained a degree in teaching. She taught high school English briefly in Joliet, while studying theatre and dance at the University of Illinois, then, in 1971, moved to New York City.
Thigpen was found unconscious at her home in Marina del Rey, California, by a friend; she died of cerebral hemorrhage. She had been complaining of headaches for several days, and was 54 years old. She had not been seriously ill, and her death was a surprise and shock. Drugs and foul play were ruled out by the coroner's autopsy, which found "acute cardiac dysfunction, non-traumatic systemic and spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage and hemorrhage in the brain" as well as an enlarged heart.

Lynne Thigpen was a fabulous actress. I remember her being the Cheif on "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" and in the movie "Lean On Me". She also was a supporting actress on several tv shows over the years.
