What Was Linda Lovelace's Net Worth?

Linda Lovelace was an American adult film actress and author who had a net worth of $100 thousand at the time of her death in 2002. Linda Lovelace is best known for starring in the hardcore pornography film "Deep Throat" (1972). Linda later revealed that her first husband, Chuck Traynor, forced her to star in the movie, and while testifying before the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography in 1986, she stated, "When you see the movie 'Deep Throat,' you are watching me being raped. It is a crime that movie is still showing; there was a gun to my head the entire time." After leaving the industry, Lovelace became an anti-pornography activist and a born-again Christian. She also appeared in the films "Sextet" (1971), "Deep Throat Part II" (1974), and "Linda Lovelace for President" (1975), and she published the books "Inside Linda Lovelace" (1974), "The Intimate Diary of Linda Lovelace" (1974), "Ordeal" (1980), and "Out of Bondage" (1986).

Early Life

Linda Lovelace was born Linda Susan Boreman on January 10, 1949, in The Bronx, New York City. Her father, John, was a police officer, and her mother, Dorothy, a waitress, was abusive and domineering. Lovelace attended Saint John the Baptist in Yonkers and Maria Regina High School in Hartsdale, and as a teenager, she earned the nickname "Miss Holy Holy" because she was committed to avoiding sexual activity and kept boys at a distance. Linda's family relocated to Davie, Florida, when she was 16, and when she gave birth to a child out-of-wedlock at the age of 20, Dorothy forced her to put the baby up for adoption. Lovelace then returned to NYC to attend computer school, but after she was in a car accident that resulted in Linda having to get a blood transfusion, she returned to her parents' home in Florida. Lovelace contracted hepatitis from the blood transfusion, and she underwent a liver transplant in 1987.
