Linda Blair: The Works - Paperback

by Charles K. Ashmore (Author)

Actress Linda Blair was immortalized by her role in THE EXORCIST. Because of this, her 41 other movies are often overlooked. Her cinematic art does more than entertain us. It encapsulates a time span parallel with the maturing of the Baby Boomer. Many of her movies address the issues current with this generation: alcoholism, treatment of the mentally ill, the dilemma of the returning Viet Nam Vet and the families of those who couldn't return, cryogenics, corruption, and the treatment of animals. Her life also brought issues to the front that have been kept in the closet for years. It has been Ashmore's endeavor to share some of her movies with the public. They chronicle the Baby Boomers' era, featuring the change of styles, the cars, the tunes, and the movies. It is his desire that you enjoy this experience as much as he did.
