Lovelace

In 1972, before the internet, before the pornography explosion, the <i>Deep Throat</i> movie was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film featuring a story, humour, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace.

Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor. As Linda Lovelace, she became an international sensation—less centerfold fantasy than charming girl-next-door with a peculiarly impressive capacity. Fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later, she presented another, utterly contradictory, narrative to the world—and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.
