Lovelace was the star of the 1972 X-rated film "Deep Throat," arguably the most famous porn feature in cinematic history. The title became such a part of the American lexicon that the main source of Watergate reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's used it as a pseudonym. Lovelace appeared in only a handful of films after that and then disappeared, the victim of a life of drugs and sexual excess. In 1980, she returned to the spotlight with an autobiography, "Ordeal," and became an outspoken opponent of the pornography industry. She died in 2002 at the age of 53, following a car accident.
The Go-Go's were the first all-female rock group to strike it big. Unlike the so-called Girl Groups of the 1960 and 1970s, they wrote all their songs and played instruments. Their debut album, "Beauty and the Beat," sold millions of copies. Caffey and Wiedlin wrote the bulk of the music. Two albums followed before drug problems and royalty battles led to their break-up in 1984. Wiedlin and lead singer Belinda Carlisle went on to short-lived solo careers. They reunited in 2001 for the album, "God Bless the Go-Go's."
