...movie had no-name stars - in fact, fake-name stars: Herb Streicher was going by Harry Reems, and Linda Boreman by Linda Lovelace. The writer-director, a Bronx hairdresser who'd never done a porno feature before, called himself Jerry Gerard. This was early 1972, and the people making hardcore sex movies considered themselves lucky to exhibit their wares legally, let alone have their real names on them.

After publishing Ordeal, her 1980 autobiography--in which she charged that her abusive first husband forced her to take the role and that she made no money from it--she became a vocal antiporn advocate...
...crash while on vacation; in Honduras. The group's 1994 sophomore venture CrazySexyCool went quadruple-platinum. Lopes had recently signed to produce her second solo album under the moniker NINA, short for New Identity Not Applicable and gangsta slang for a 9-mm gun. DIED. LINDA BOREMAN, 53, better known as Linda Lovelace, star of the notorious 1972 sex flick Deep Throat who later turned antiporn activist, of injuries from a car crash; in Denver, Colorado (see Eulogy).
