Linda Lovelace's Life Marked by Tragedy and Exploitation

Linda Boreman was born in New York City on January 10, 1948, to a working-class family. Her father worked as a police officer and her mother as a waitress. She attended Catholic schools and earned the nickname Miss Holy Moly for keeping distance from dates. Her mother was cruel and oppressive during her childhood. The family moved to Florida when Linda turned 16.

At 16, Linda gave birth to a baby boy but her mother forced her to give him up for adoption. She unwillingly signed the guardianship papers. Three years later, she returned to New York for computer school but suffered a car accident. Doctors gave her contaminated blood during a transfusion. She contracted hepatitis from the tainted blood.

Linda moved back to Florida for care from her parents. She met Chuck Traynor, who seemed loving at first but became abusive after marriage. He forced her into pornographic films called loops for peep shows. Traynor made her star in a bestiality film called Dogarama with a dog. He controlled all her earnings.

Linda starred in Deep Throat, which made her famous but she never wanted the role. The film earned over 600 million dollars but she only received $1,250. Traynor took even that small payment. She later left him and married David Winters, having children and leaving pornography. Linda died in 2002 after a car accident caused internal bleeding.
