On April 23, 2002 she was taken off life support and died in Denver, Colorado. In 1971 she wrote her autobiography, I Was a Greek. On April 3, 2002, she sustained severe injuries in a car accident in which her sport utility vehicle rolled over. When democracy returned to her home country, she returned, and became first a member of the Parliament for PASOK, and then Minister of Culture. 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. Pattakos was born a dictator and he will die as a dictator.". According to Boreman's 1980 autobiography Ordeal, the couple's relationship was plagued by violence, rape, prostitution and, of course, pornography. Mr.

Traynor went on to marry and guide the career of Marilyn Chambers, another major porn star. When the dictatorship revoked her Greek citizenship, she said, "I was born Greek and I would die Greek. 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. During the period of dictatorship in Greece from 1967 to 1974, Mercouri lived in France. However, several 8 mm "fetish" loops that still circulate confirm the assertions. Nominated for an Academy Award for Never on Sunday, she went on to star in such films as Topkapi, Phaedra, and Gaily, Gaily. Over the years she was sometimes accused of having made zoophilia pornography before Deep Throat, a charge that she always denied. In fact, she had been making movies since 1955, first appearing in the Greek language film Stella.

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. Born Anna Amalia Mercouri or Maria Amalia Mercouris, she became well-known to international audiences when she starred in the 1960 film Never on Sunday, directed by her husband Jules Dassin. After becoming famous she starred in several soft core movies, which were flops. Melina Mercouri (Μελίνα Μερκούρη; Athens,October 18, 1920 - New York, March 6, 1994) was a Greek actress and political activist. The daughter of a policeman, Boreman made several hard core short features before making Deep Throat, perhaps the most financially successful porn movie ever. She later became an advocate against pornography and insisted on using the name Boreman.

Linda Boreman (January 10, 1949 - April 23, 2002) became famous as a pornographic actress under the stage name Linda Lovelace in the 1972 film Deep Throat.
