Love to play porn star
http://www.news24.com/News24/Backpag...682166,00.html

Los Angeles - Courtney Love has agreed to play Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic of the infamous 70s porn star.

According to Variety the movie, called Lovelace, will be made by Jason Blum's Blumhouse Production company with Merritt Johnson as scriptwriter.

Lovelace, real name Linda Boreman, became a cult figure after starring in the 1972 porn movie Deep Throat which despite being banned in 23 US states went on to gross an estimated $600m.

The New York-born housewife, who claimed she was never paid for Deep Throat, later became a leading spokesperson for America's feminist movement and an anti-porn campaigner.

She died aged 53 in April 2002 after being injured in a car crash.

Love, 40, won acclaim for her role as porn publisher Larry Flynt's wife, Althea, in 1996's The People vs Larry Flynt.

I smell an Oscar nod. Hollywood loves that comeback ****.

I adore this woman.

I don't care what anyone says.

Shut up, Amber.

Me, too. I'm in love with Courtney Love and I don't care who knows it.

She's looking much better these days, too:

This movie should be interesting, Ron Howard has been trying to make it for years and once had Meg Ryan attached to play Lovelace.

wow, that could be a good role.

Oh she definitely looks healthier. I'm also a Love fan!

For a pornstar role? In the year post Terri Schiavo and Pope's agony? They wouldn't have the courage. Even if I think that Courtney Love can be a great actress and deserved an Oscar for The people vs Larry Flint and did a wonderful job in Man On The Moon.

Of course they would. The Schiavo bull**** didn't stop them from heaping the awards on Million Dollar Baby. If Courtney pulls it off, which she probably will because she's a talented actress, they'll nominate her just for the story alone; they *love* that kind of ****.

I'm glad she's got her **** together because she is so smart and cool when she wants to be.

That solo album of hers was heinous, dear.

I still doubt it. We'll see...

I am so going to see that movie.

strandinthewind · #11 03-30-2005, 04:18 PM

As will the felonious La Ryder playing a loon in "Girl Interrupted" - one must wonder how much acting is involved with Love playing a drugged out slut or just a slut

I do like her though and hopr she is well and that this seemingly interesting comeback vehicle works for her.

The artwork is great.

But the singing and lyrics are atrocious.

I think she is completely nuts and at times a complete train wreck but she certainly makes the world a more interesting place.

All those conspiracy theories about her killing Cobain crack me up, they're so ludicrous. But to each his own, I suppose.

She's a total train wreck, but she's fascinating, she's got balls, and she has more personality than most celebs I can think of.

I really like Courtney as well!

She is her own person; that is for sure! I can totally see her playing Linda Lovelace. This should be an interesting film with an interesting cast.

My all time fav. of many fav.'s is when she threw her shoes at Madonna in the MTV interview tower and then hauled herself up there uninvited

Madonna's response was something like "on a lot of really good drugs?"

Yup, I remember that, which is why I cowered and kept my mouth shut.:shcoked: Hey, sorry I didn't get your back!

She really is bright. She wrote something in Kevyn Aucoin's "Making Faces" that was well-written, a prologue or something. His early death was tragic.
