Christine Lahti

. On April 23, 2002 she was taken off life support and died in Denver, Colorado. She mainly has acted in independent films or TV series in the past decade, and she is active in political causes. On April 3, 2002, she sustained severe injuries in a car accident in which her sport utility vehicle rolled over. Lahti is married to TV director Thomas Schlamme. Boreman testified before congressional committees investigating pornography and also gave lectures on college campuses and elsewhere, always decrying what she described as callous and exploitative practices of the pornography industry. After that event, she made it a point to be good-humored about it, usually poking fun at herself at other awards shows. According to Boreman's 1980 autobiography Ordeal, the couple's relationship was plagued by violence, rape, prostitution and, of course, pornography.

When she won her Golden Globe in 1998, she was in the bathroom, which was highly-publicized in the press. Traynor went on to marry and guide the career of Marilyn Chambers, another major porn star. She has won one Emmy and two Golden Globes for her role in Chicago Hope. For many years after the film debuted, Boreman claimed that her husband, whom she divorced in 1973, had forced her into pornography at gunpoint and that in Deep Throat itself bruises from his beatings can be seen on her legs. Lahti received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for Swing Shift in 1984, and won an Academy Award for Best Short Film, Live Action for Lieberman in Love (1995), which she starred in and directed. However, several 8 mm "fetish" loops that still circulate confirm the assertions. After starring in a few blockbuster hits in the 1970s and early 1980s, Lahti has primarily chosen to be in movies she wants to act in - rather than take blockbuster roles, and she is adamant about spending time with her three children. Over the years she was sometimes accused of having made zoophilia pornography before Deep Throat, a charge that she always denied.

She started off working in commercials, and her breakthrough movie was ...And Justice for All (1979) with Al Pacino. Boreman maintained that she herself was not paid for her work in Deep Throat and that her husband, Chuck Traynor, received only $1,250 (1972 US dollars) for it even though the film would eventually gross an estimated $600 million. She moved to New York City in the 1970s to work as a waitress. After becoming famous she starred in several soft core movies, which were flops.
