Linda Lovelace
Actress, anti-porn advocate
|
Boreman was in a car accident April 3 south of Denver and was taken to Denver Health Medical Center with massive trauma and internal injures. She was taken off life support and died about 3 p.m.
Boreman's ex-husband, Larry Marchiano, said he and their two children, ages 25 and 22, were at the hospital when she died.
The family moved to Colorado in 1990 and the two divorced in 1996 after 25 years of marriage.
The actress claimed her first husband forced her into pornography at gunpoint. They divorced in 1973. Their relationship disintegrated into a life of violence, rape, prostitution and pornography, according to her 1980 autobiography "Ordeal" and in her testimony before congressional committees investigating pornography.
She said she was never paid a penny for "Deep Throat" and her husband only was paid $1,250, though the film grossed a reported $600 million.
