- 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 Gorge profonde (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 Linda Lovelace for President (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.- IMDb mini biography by: A. Nonymous

- Children
- Made many claims about the adult film industry and her ex-husband/manager Chuck Traynor in her books, including that she was forced to perform legal and illegal sex acts at gunpoint.
- Linda's nickname in high school was "Miss Holy Holy," because she kept her dates at a safe distance.
- Was involved in a bad car accident on April 3, 2002, in Denver, CO, that left her with massive trauma and internal injuries and 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.
- Dressed up as a Southern belle in virgin-white, she arrived at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 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.
- In her autobiography "Ordeal" and in the TV program Linda Lovelace (2000), she revealed that she got pregnant when she was 19 and gave birth to a son when she was 20 years old, and that her mother put him up for adoption. It wasn't the first or last time that an unwed teenager would have a baby in her family, since her mother gave birth to her half-sister Barbara Boreman when she was 18, and Linda's daughter Lindsay Marchiano gave birth to a son when she was 17.
- [in 1975 interview with Eric Danville] When I was with [David Winters] I had an awesome time. I met a lot of people and had a lot of fun at that point. I went to see my first play. I saw Richard Chamberlain in '"Cyrano De Bergerac", I saw "Grease" in Manhattan. I saw the Alvin Ailey Dancers. I became cultured, I guess. I'd never been cultured.
- Gorge profonde (1975) - $1,200
