I have not seen the soon-to-be released film “Lovelace” starring Amanda Seyfried as 1970s porn-star Linda Lovelace, but I am already somewhat disturbed by the beautiful and glamorous posters advertising the film that are covering the internet. First of all, Seyfriend is much more physically attractive than the real Linda whom she bears little resemblance to. Secondly, I have seen some of the original posters for Lovelace's movies and none were as eye-catching or prettified as these. Although the film is reported to be “gritty,” the image they are selling is not the life that the living Linda Lovelace portrayed in her books. I don't get it. If they really wanted to pay homage to the torturous existence of this sad woman, they would have cast someone not so stunning; and discarded any box-office stratetgy that included the actress looking hot and sexy.
While researching Linda Lovelace, I was amazed to discover that Linda was raised a strict Catholic, was known as “Miss Holy Holy” in high-school because she wanted to become a nun, and dated very little as a teen-ager. Her downward spiral began when she met a conniving and manipulative man who introduced her to sexual deviancy and hypnosis. Goes to show: anyone is susceptible to the endless machinations of the Satanic realm. Linda was used by the dark powers to usher in the era of porn-chic; the effects of which we are still living with. From the marketing campaign of the current bio-pic, looks like Linda is getting used all over again. Linda Susan Boreman, May you rest in Peace.
