If there is a name from the porn world that people not interested or even against porn know it's Linda Lovelace. (I guess some would say Tracy Lords or Jenna Jameson - well such things are difficult to estimate). And if there is a porn movie widely known outside the porn industry it's Deep Throat. Linda Lovelace was the star of that notorious film, which at the time (1972) was shown on mainstream cinemas. Today should have been her 64th birthday, but she died after a car accident almost eleven years ago. In the autobiography "Ordeal" (1980) she claims that she was forced into pornography and prostitution by her husband Chuck Traynor, who beat her and forced her at gunpoint. She became an anti-pornography activist.
