Linda Linda LindaWhen she was just five Linda Blair had to become comfortable in public attention, initially as child models and later as an actress, when from a pool of over 600 candidates, she was chosen to play the part as Regan as the possessed child who was for the film The Exorcist (1973). Linda won the Golden Globe and was on way to winning the Academy Award. However, after it was revealed the fact that Mercedes McCambridge had dubbed the demon voice, and that the 8 second scenes were played by a stunt person, the dream of an A-list professional was a failure. In the following years, she didn't have any trouble getting leads in a wide range of films, among them the wildly successful television series Born Innocent (1974) (the most watched TV show that year) and Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic (1975) in addition to an Exorcist sequel Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977). They arrested her and gave her three years of probation following people in her circle pressured her to buy cocaine after she reached 18 years old. Linda was placed on blacklist by Hollywood after the highly-publicized drug arrest. The career of Linda was restricted to B movies and television appearances.
