Linda Denise Blair (born January 22, 1959) is an American actress and activist. Her breakthrough role came with playing Regan MacNeil in the horror film The Exorcist (1973), which established her both as a scream queen and in popular culture. The role earned her a Golden Globe and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She reprised the role in two sequels: Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) and The Exorcist: Believer (2023).
Blair has starred in several television films, including Born Innocent (1974), Sarah T. – Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic (1975), and Stranger in Our House (1978). She has also starred in exploitation and grindhouse films, including Hell Night (1981), Chained Heat (1983), and Savage Streets (1984). Her role in the musical film Roller Boogie (1979) brought her renewed recognition as a sex symbol. She was the host of the Fox Family reality series Scariest Places on Earth (2000–2006) and made appearances on the Animal Planet series Pit Boss (2010–2012).
