Four years after she made "Deep Throat," Linda Lovelace's show business career essentially was over. It was then she met and married a construction worker named Larry Marchiano. The couple moved to Long Island, where they spent several desperate years living on welfare, moving from motel rooms and a friend's living room to rented cottages in Port Jefferson and Montauk.
By the 1980s, however, Marchiano had found steady work as a spackler, the pair had two children - a boy, Dominic, and a girl, Lindsay - and Linda Marchiano had found relative contentment as a suburban housewife in Center Moriches. But she maintained a certain celebrity: in between her work with the local PTA and as a chaperone on class trips, Marchiano gave speeches about the evils of pornography to college groups and testified before congressional committees. She also wrote two books about her experiences in the porn industry, "Ordeal" and "Out of Bondage."
In 1986, Linda Marchiano had a double mastectomy, the result of silicone injections she had had to enhance her breasts.

In 1990, Larry Marchiano's drywall business collapsed and the family moved to Colorado. The marriage broke up in 1996, and Linda Marchiano died in a car crash in Denver in 2002.

There hasn't been one real journalist since Murrow died.....not one.....
I read "Ordeal" back in the 80s. It was the same old story: easy female hooks up with older, drug dispensing lech who eventually convinces her to become a small-time porn actress. Female has second thoughts after incident with uncooperative canine. Escape attempt thwarted by drugs and abuse. Eventual release. Remorse.
Disparate Housewife.
It's kind of ironic that she later married a Spackler...
> the result of silicone injections she had had to enhance her breasts.
Wait... silicone *injections*?
Yikes.

Porn sucks.
Heh heh.
And now...the lyrics to the Deep Throat main theme...
Deep throat,
Deeper than deep your throat
Deep throat
Don't row your boat
Don't get your goat
That's all she wrote
Deep throat
I really appreciate that link. I am so stunned. Talk about demystifying a 'culture'.
Thanks again.
Damn...that was funny.

Ummm a guy who fills cracks and holes with a white pasty substance, why do you ask?
Where is the compassion?
Truthfully, I didn't have much. It irks me that women continually sell their bodies and their souls to worthless men and then feel shortchanged. I did hope that the dog was okay, though.
Sad!
