‏Linda Lovelace‏ (1327 - 1381)

Linda Lovelace, the most famous porn star of all time, was born Linda Boreman in 1949. In the late 1960s she began a relationship with Chuck Traynor and eventually married him. She appeared in eight 8mm hardcore fetish loops, including one in which she had sex with a dog. She is most well known for the hardcore porn feature Deep Throat (1972), which became a runaway hit, playing to sellout crowds in "respectable" cinemas; it is still considered the quintessential adult film of all time. Linda divorced Traynor, revealing he had abused her physically and sexually for the duration of their relationship, coercing her into the film. Linda starred in the R-rated Deep Throat Part II (1974) (filmed while she was still married to Traynor) and the soft-X Hot Neon (1975) before shying away from the public, which expected nudity in her films and did not want to hear her emerging accounts of sexual slavery. In 1980 she released her autobiography "Ordeal", in which she revealed her abuse under Traynor. Lovelace became an anti-porn advocate, and testified before the Meese Commission on the dangers of pornography. She died following a car accident in April 2002.
