Linda Lovelace Trivia -

Born 6:15 am-EST Made many claims about the adult film industry and her ex-husband/manager in her books, including that she was forced to perform legal and illegal sex acts at gun point. Was the adult film industry's first star to become a household name, and is now one of the adult film industry's most outspoken critics. Following the end of their marriage, Chuck Traynor married and helped guide the career of Marilyn Chambers (the 1970s second most famous adult film star). Children: son Dominic born in 1977 and daughter Lindsay born in 1980. Was involved in bad car accident on April 3 2002 in Denver, Colorado that left her with massive trauma and internal injuries and left her on life support. She was taken off life support by her family on April 22, 2002 and died shortly after. Her ex-husband Larry Marchiano and two adult children were at the hospital when she died. In her autobiography "Ordeal" and in the TV program _Linda Lovelace: The E! True Hollywood Story (2000) (TV)_ , Linda revealed that she gave birth to a son out-of-wedlock when she was 20 years old in 1969, and that her mother put him up for adoption. Gerard Damiano, director of Deep Throat (1972), gave Linda Boreman her professional name of "Linda Lovelace". This is because he wanted "LL" initials to represent what he considered the new sex symbol of the 70s, just as "MM" (Marilyn Monroe) and "BB" (Brigitte Bardot) represented the sex symbols of the 50s. Linda's nickname in high school was "Miss Holy Holy," because she kept her dates at a safe distance. Dressed up as a Southern belle in virgin-white, Lovelace arrived at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in a horse-drawn carriage on Oscar night, April 2, 1974. Her attempt to cash in on the publicity generated by the Academy Awards was thwarted when Paul Newman, husband of Best Actress nominee Joanne Woodward, arrived at the same time and attracted the attention of press photographers.

Linda Lovelace Detailed Biography -

Linda Susan Boreman, better known by her stage name Linda Lovelace (January 10, 1949 to April 22, 2002), was a pornographic actress in the 1972 film Deep Throat, who went on to leave the pornography industry and became a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement. Deep Throat was notable for popularizing oral sex and beginning a brief fad of porn chic; it was also the inspiration for Bob Woodward's name of his secret Watergate source, W. Mark Felt. Lovelace later stated that she regretted her pornographic career and had been violently coerced into pornography by her then-husband, Chuck Traynor; she also repudiated her stage name and reverted to using her real name in public. The popularity of the film, however, made her a cultural icon against her will, appearing in archive footage in many other films. Although she later became an advocate against pornography, Lovelace is still famous for her depictions of deep throat fellatio. While she continued to use the Lovelace name for commercial purposes, the first sentence of Lovelace's book, Ordeal, and a statement she repeated for the rest of her life, was "My name is not Linda Lovelace."
