wow Linda Lovelace, was an American pornographic actress famous for her performance in the 1972 hardcore porn film Deep Throat. Although the film was an enormous success at the time, it was later alleged by Boreman that her abusive husband, Chuck Traynor, had threatened and coerced her into the performance. Boreman described what went on behind the scenes in her autobiography Ordeal. She later became a born again Christian and a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement.[1]

While recovering at the home of her parents, Boreman became involved with Chuck Traynor. According to Boreman, Traynor was charming and attentive at first, then became violent and controlling. She said he forced her to move to New York, where he became her manager, pimp, and husband.[4]
Allegedly coerced by Traynor,[6] Boreman was soon performing as Linda Lovelace in hardcore "loops," short 8-mm silent films made for peep shows.[7] Boreman starred in a 1969 bestiality film titled Dogarama (also known as Dog Fucker).[8] She later denied having appeared in the film until several of the original loops proved otherwise.[4][9] In 2013, Larry Revene, the cameraman who actually shot the film, spoke about it for the first time, during which he asserted that Boreman was a willing participant and that no coercion took place.[7] Porn star Eric Edwards, who was present for the shoot, has similarly claimed there was no obvious coercion going on and that Boreman appeared to be a cooperative performer.[10]
In 1971, Boreman also starred in the golden shower film titled Piss Orgy.[11]
In 1972, Boreman starred in Deep Throat, in which she famously performed deep-throating. The film achieved surprising and unprecedented popularity among mainstream audiences and even a review in The New York Times.[12][13] It played several times daily for over ten years at theaters in the Pussycat Theater chain, where Boreman did promotions, including leaving her hand and footprints in the concrete sidewalk outside the Hollywood Pussycat. The movie later became one of the first, and highest-grossing, X-rated videotape releases.
