Linda Blair, who was just five years old at the time, was able been conditioned to be on the radar. As a model for children, then as an actor, she was chosen for the role as Regan the demonized girl from a pool of over 600 applicants, for The Exorcist, (1973). Linda quickly rose to international fame, won the Golden Globe, and seemed to be destined to win the Academy Award for that role However, after it was revealed about the fact that some aspects in the film weren't done by her (the demon voice was recorded with Mercedes McCambridge, and eight seconds of a stunt dummy were employed) that dream broke in disappointment, which most likely was the beginning of the end to what looked like the start of a successful career. It was her turn to get the lead role in a range of films, such as Born Innocent (#1 TV film in 1974) and Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic(1975) as well as The Exorcist II sequel Exorcist II : The Heretic. However, when she was pressured by peers to buying cocaine when she was just of 18 it triggered being arrested and later sentenced to three years ' probation. Linda was removed from Hollywood following the widely-publicized drug arrest. Her career soon became only limited to B movies and television appearances.
