Linda Lovelace

Linda Susan Boreman, better known by her stage name Linda Lovelace (January 10, 1949 – April 22, 2002), was a pornographic actress in the 1972 film Deep Throat. The movie 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. Lovelace later stated that she regretted her pornographic career; she repudiated her stage name, and reverted to using her real name in public. Despite this fact, she has become a cultural icon, 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."
