The huge success of “Deep Throat” might lead some people to imagine That its star led a charmed life. But that was far from the case, to judge from the recent biopic, “Lovelace,” starring Amanda Seyfried in the title role.
The film actually presents its audience with two versions of the Lovelace story. For most of the film, she is shown as being manipulated into porn by her then-husband, Chuck Traynor. But in an darker version of events shown toward the film’s end from Lovelace’s point of view, she is depicted as essentially a sex slave.
