Linda Linda LindaFrom the age of just five Linda Blair had to become comfortable in the spotlight. Initially, she was a child model and then acting as a actress. When out of a field of nearly 600 candidates she was picked for the role as Regan who was the child who had been possessed as seen as seen in The Exorcist (1973). Linda got the Golden Globe and was on path to be awarded the Academy Award. However, when it became public in the media that Mercedes McCambridge had dubbed the evil voice and the eight seconds were performed by a stunt duo The dream of a career on the A-list was a failure. Her success was evident when she was offered the lead role in a range of films, such as Born Innocent (#1 TV film of 1974) and Sarah T. - Portrait of A Teenage Alcoholic(1975) and the Exorcist II sequel Exorcist II : The Heretic. She splurged on cocaine due to social pressure when she was 18 this resulted in her being detained and a sentence of three years' probation. This highly-publicized drug bust led Linda to be blacklisted by Hollywood, and her film career soon slowed down to B-movies and occasional TV guest appearances.
