A friend of mine who is a grad student in American Studies is doing her dissertation on Linda Lovelace, Deepthroat and American porn. Apparently she just recently interviewed people associated with the movie and I believe people who were close to Lovelace, perhaps family members. I can't wait to hear what she's found out.

There's no question in my mind that was abused, but one has to wonder about the extent of it when you read her first book (I didn't know
what to make of her beastiality claims when I wrote my paper, to be honest). She supposedly passed tens of hours of lie detector tests before the publishers would print her book, too. I'm likely to believe her because as soon as she left Traynor, she didn't do anything that had to do with porn. I did, however, come to the conclusion that she was used and abused by the womens movement just as she had been by the porn industry. They used her up when they needed her and then threw her out like garbage. She led a truly sad life.
