1:17:02
I couldn't make
that kind of film,
1:17:05
Because there was--
there was no reason to.
1:17:08
It became a--
it became a factory,
1:17:13
It was over,
1:17:15
You didn't need
filmmakers anymore,
1:17:18
[seagulls cawing]
1:17:22
(Hopper)
As the adult industry grew,
1:17:25
it neither needed
the rebel filmmaker
1:17:27
who had pioneered it
1:17:28
nor heeded
the feminist protest
against it,
1:17:31
So finding herself redundant,
1:17:33
Linda Lovelace
moved with her family
to Denver
1:17:36
to try and start a new life,
1:17:39
(Lindsay)
Um, that's Mom at her desk.
1:17:41
Uh, she was the manager
of the mailroom.
1:17:46
She was proud of her new desk.
1:17:48
Um...
1:17:50
They fired her
when they found out about LL.
1:17:52
It happened a lot,
1:17:59
(Lovelace)
You know, I've lost two jobs
1:18:01
because of the name
Linda Lovelace,
1:18:03
And, uh,
that-that's kind of,,,
1:18:06
That hurts,
1:18:07
You know,
I was always defending myself
1:18:10
after, what, 25 years,
1:18:13
I don't have to do that
too much anymore,
1:18:15
So l've decided
it's time for me
to do what l can
1:18:18
to earn an income
1:18:21
from, uh, the abuse that
l went through from the name.
1:18:25
(Hopper)
Broke and out of work,
1:18:27
Linda returned to the world
she had once condemned,
1:18:35
(Lovelace)
You know, I think it's kind of
nice looking sexy
1:18:37
and--and still
looking attractive at 51 .
1:18:39
So, l didn't feel
there was anything wrong
with doing it.
1:18:43
Many feminists
who have written,
1:18:45
you know, books,,,
1:18:46
And they're always using
the name Linda Lovelace,
and what happened to me,
1:18:50
l don't get
any royalties from that.
1:18:53
And it doesn't take much
to keep me happy.
1:18:56
You know?
l get to be with
my grandchildren,
1:18:58
around my children,
and that's my joy.
