Linda Blair
Jul 15, 1982; Hollywood, USA; From the age of six, LINDA BLAIR had to get used to the spotlight, both as a model and in motion pictures, when she out of 600 applicants got chosen to the role of Regan - the possessed child in Exorcist, The (1973). Linda was about set to take the Academy Award for that role, but when it leaked how little of the possessed child she actually had been (dubbed voice by Mercedes McCambridge, and substantial use of a dummy) that dream broke, and with that disappointment probably came the first blow to what should have been a sure road to stardom
