In the spirit of the recent post announcing the obituary of Thor Heyerdahl:
With deep sorrow, and with a catch in my throat, I announce the passing of another cultural icon. Some may recall that the term with which she is everlasting associated achieved new meaning in the book, "All the President's Men", and might also be applied to a more recent president. Thus, while her own contribution to language was strictly oral, it became a seminal part of our written tradition.
Headline: Ex - Porn Star Lovelace Dies at 53
DENVER (AP) -- Linda Boreman, who starred as Linda Lovelace in the 1972 pornographic film "Deep Throat" and later became an anti-porn advocate, died Monday from injuries she suffered in a car crash. She was 53.
