K...can someone help me out? What show did Linda Blair appear in when they refer to it in Last Five Years? I've actually looked on the internet for like 20 minutes but can't find any of her theater credits. I assumed it would have been some huge flop like Carrie but that led nowhere...Any help???

Not 100% sure, but I think she was Rizzo in Grease. Correct me if I'm wrong.

She was Rizzo in GREASE. She was very good, in fact.

Beav - I found her to be quite delightful in person. Just don't cross her.

I thought it was one of the little girls in the Exorcist. Why on earth did I think that?! Odd. Very odd.

Am I completely alone on this? lol

Linda was THE little girl in The Exorcist. There was only one.

She was only in two.

There was only one called The Exorcist.

I know a lot of people who deny who they are if they happen to answer the phone - and plenty of them aren't actors! That's just a business thing, but if you have a distinctive voice like she does, it probably doesn't work so well.

And I didn't actually work with her - I was just a friend to her while she was working here, during GREASE, so a while ago. As I had also worked fot Fran and Barry, I was someone she could vent to at the end of a tough day.
