'Exorcist' star Linda Blair had 'no idea' movie would be a cult classic
Fox News
"The Exorcist" star Linda Blair explained to Fox News Digital that she had "no idea" the 1973 cult classic would become so popular. She said the movie was "hard" for her to film at her age.
Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"For me, it was so not Hollywood. I had no idea," Blair said of the film. "Mom and I just thought, ‘Oh, you know, your project, if it gets a little airing, the commercial runs,’ and that wasn't the case. The case was it became an international controversial sensation around the world."
Blair explained that Warner Bros. attempted to send her on an international press tour, so the world could see that she was really just a young girl – not the demon-possessed Regan MacNeil they saw on their screens.
