Courtney Love is to star as legendary porn star Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic.
Daily Variety reports that Love has put pen to paper to star as the Deep Throat actress, real name Linda Boreman, who became a militant feminist after she quit the porn industry and was killed in a car crash at the age of 53. Deep Throat was banned in 23 states, you know.
Love, of course, has dabbled in the not-so-murky world of Hollywood porn before, starring as the wife of Larry Flynt in 1996's The People Vs Larry Flynt. The working title for the new picture is simply Lovelace.
