Linda Blair

Linda Blair began modelling when she was five years old. By her teens she had started acting on television and movies, and in 1973 she got an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Regan, the demon-possessed child in The Exorcist (co-starring Max von Sydow). She also appeared four years later in the sequel, and starred in the cult favorite Roller Boogie in 1979. Blair has appeared in dozens of movies, TV shows and performed on Broadway (in Grease as Rizzo), and is a well-known advocate for animal welfare and environmental causes.
