Linda Blair

Linda Linda LindaLinda Blair, who was just five years old at the time, was able been conditioned to be at the center of attention. At first, as a child model before becoming an actor, she was selected for the role of Regan the possessed girl from a pool of over 600 applicants, for The Exorcist, (1973). Linda Blair rose quickly to notoriety and was awarded her first Golden Globe. She was likely to win an Academy Award. But when news broke that some roles were actually dubbed and a stunt-dummy was filmed for eight seconds, that dream went down the drain. Linda was able to secure leads in a wide range of films like Born Innocent (#1 TV film of 1974) as well as Sarah T. - Portrait of an Adolescent Alcoholic(1975) and the Exorcist II sequel Exorcist II : The Heretic. When she was peer pressured into purchasing cocaine before the age of 18 years old, it resulted in being detained and then sentenced to three years of probation. Linda was blacklisted by Hollywood in the wake of the well-publicized drug bust. The career of Linda was only limited to B films and TV appearances.
