Sex Fact #111

Linda Lovelace says she was forced against her will to do certain scenes in 'Deep Throat': the most successful porn film of all time.

Linda Boreman, who starred as Linda Lovelace in the infamous pornographic film Deep Throat, is probably the most famous erotic movie star.

Her 1972 movie, which focuses on the discovery by a sex-conscious young woman that oral sex can be fun, was the most successful pornographic film to be shown in America.

It was declared obscene by the state of New York, a circumstance which may have helped it to gross some three and a half million dollars. It became the first pornographic film to be seen widely at cinemas and made $600m at box offices.

Though it was the most successful blue movie of all time, its star Linda Boreman said she was never paid for it and she became an anti-pornography campaigner later in life.

She claimed she was forced into performing some scenes in Deep Throat by her former manager and husband, Chuck Traynor, and said that every time someone watched her on screen, "they are watching me being raped."

Linda Boreman died at the age of 53 after suffering massive trauma and internal injuries as a result of a car crash on April 3rd, 2002.
