Linda Lovelace

On April 23, 2002 she was taken off life support and died in Denver, Colorado. On April of 2004, Mendez relocated for six months to Puerto Rico, for filming of a Hollywood movie. On April 3, 2002, she sustained severe injuries in a car accident in which her sport utility vehicle rolled over. On Saturday, February 29 of 2004, she married for the second time, this time to a person unknown to the public. 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. Mendez is rumored to be planning a comeback into Latin American and Spanish United States television channels. According to Boreman's 1980 autobiography Ordeal, the couple's relationship was plagued by violence, rape, prostitution and, of course, pornography. Lucia debutted as a writer of a soap opera in Miami in 1998.

Traynor went on to marry and guide the career of Marilyn Chambers, another major porn star. The public and gossip magazines have also speculated of a supposed rivalry between her and Veronica Castro. 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. But even as she did lead a more private life, she was still under the public's eye, and she has been associated romantically with Luis Miguel and Vicente Fox, among others. However, several 8 mm "fetish" loops that still circulate confirm the assertions. After Amor de Nadie, Mendez semi-retired from acting, leading a more private life. Over the years she was sometimes accused of having made zoophilia pornography before Deep Throat, a charge that she always denied. The soap opera's title song also became a smash hit for Mendez.

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. In Amor de Nadie, she played a rape victim who has five men fighting for her love. After becoming famous she starred in several soft core movies, which were flops. In 1990, Mendez came back with another super-hit soap opera, Amor de Nadie, alongside Saul Lisazo and Fernando Allende. The daughter of a policeman, Boreman made several hard core short features before making Deep Throat, perhaps the most financially successful porn movie ever. Later on, she and Pedro Torres divorced. She later became an advocate against pornography and insisted on using the name Boreman. In 1988, she married producer Pedro Torres, and in 1989, she had her son Pedrito, who is her only child so far.

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. In Tu o Nadie, her brother played a pshysically challenged person. In 1986, she starred alongside Andres Garcia and Salvador Pineda in international super-hit Tu o Nadie, where she sang the Corazon de Piedra (Heart of Stone) song, which also became a smashing hit, on the Mexican and Latin American music charts. In 1983, she was crowned as Queen of Vina Del Mar at the prestigious Viņa Del Mar Festival in Chile. During the 1980s, her star kept on growing, as she reached international superstar status.

Subsequently, she was cast on many other soap oeras, and by the mid 1970s, she was a well known superstar throughout Mexico. She acted in her first soap opera, Paloma, simultaneusly. Mendez began her career in 1972, acting in a movie named Cabalgando a la Luna (Horse-riding to the Moon). She has been the star of several Spanish soap operas.
