Porn Star Linda Lovelace is one of the best-known names in porn history, despite appearing in only a handful of films in the early 1970's. She's a well-endowed brunette with a typically 70's body -- slightly rounded in all the right places. Linda Lovelace was thrust into the national spotlight in 1972 with her starring role in 'Deep Throat,' one of the all-time classics of erotic entertainment. It was a groundbreaking sex film that starred Linda Lovelace as a woman who can't have an orgasm until she realizes that her clit is in her throat. What follows has made Linda Lovelace's name synonymous with oral sex for over 25 years.

'Deep Throat,' was virtually Linda Lovelace's only completed film. Linda Lovelace appeared in a few late 60's and early 70's loops before she was catapulted to sexual superstardom. Her post-'Throat' work reached a high point with her lusty oral romp with John C. Holmes in 'Exotic French Fantasies.' Linda Lovelace's name on a marquee was a 70's guarantee of success, so she popped up in numerous quickie compilations, but never again filmed a full-fledged sex film.

Linda Lovelace disappeared into a haze of drug use and sexual excess, re-emerging in the mid-1980's as an outspoken opponent of the porn industry.

Linda Lovelace died on April 22, 2002 from internal injuries she suffered in a car crash. She was 53.
