And then … you have idiots like this selling something called, “Creepy Linda Blair Latex Halloween Prop – Exorcist. Check all the pics out from his auction … her ass in the air has me LMAO!

… yes, and great makeup indeed by the one and only Dick Smith. I would hate to see what would be produced today with all the CGI garbage that we can spot a mile away.

Ceru,
I agree that IF Blair said those words, it was only to advance herself for the role. Although Friedkin’s words really don’t make a lot of sense, I still do not believe Blair for one minute despite her cries of, “I was naive and knew nothing about masturbation.” What inquisitive 12- to 13-year-old wouldn’t ask their own mother (who was on the soundstage at all times), “Why am I slamming the crucifix into a box filled with fake blood?”
I think Blair was and is very bright and intelligent. Therefore, I think she already knew by the time she hit puberty without having to ring the bells from the adult understanding. For God’s sake, she was given certain lines by Friedkin to say and I believe she would have asked, “Mom, why am I saying, ‘Let Jesus fuck you?'”

Sof,
It makes better sense from Travers’ point of view about the nine-year-old actor saying this and that Friedkin once again got confused during another interview.

All in all, Friedkin’s use of the words, “jerking off,” is very much geared toward males rather than females, especially in the 1970’s. I was the same age as Blair and I grew up in close proximity to where Blair grew up. I never remember hearing a girl saying to another person, “I need to jerk off.” The Urban Dictionary is right on target: To masturbate by rubbing the penis/To stimulate your penis with your hand to cause orgasm and ejaculation. Male masturbation.

I wonder who wouldn’t sign their own SAG card? It’s kind of naive that SAG has to put that it’s, “Not valid unless signed” on there. 🙂

Well, Sof, you know my email (don’t give that away, please). If you still have the scan, I would love to see it.

Jagged,
I agree about finding something reputable about Friedkin because he is perhaps the biggest “car salesman” around. 🙂

Very nice, Ceru! I have the picture above in the “smoking/not smoking/smoking” scene with Karras and Father Dyer. Now I can look forward to hearing that music, too.
Thanks!

Sof,
I love what you did! Can you post or send the actual article to me? I would love to read.
