Linda Blair
Linda-Blair
49 total credits
From the age of six, Linda Blair had to get used to the spotlight, both as a model and in motion pictures, when out of 600 applicants she got picked for the role of Regan, the possessed child, in The Exorcist (1973). Linda seemed to be 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 liberal 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.

A horror anthology series that feels like no other, before or since. You can assume that had at least a little to do with the deeply admirable decision to hire directors like Lizzie Borden, Tom Noonan (who also wrote both of his episodes, and acted in another), Sara Driver (whose episode stars Steve Buscemi), and Bette Gordon (whose episodes star Lili Taylor, Richard Edson, and Debbie Harry, among others).
