Deep Throat Unclogged

It turns out that Thora Birch’s lineage might be more interesting than Luke Skywalker’s.

No one’s cared enough to look into it, however, until the recent death of porn star Linda Lovelace (the star of the landmark skin flick Deep Throat), when people digging around IMDB.com for whatever they could find on the pop culture phenomenon made an interesting discovery: One of the cast of Deep Throat is a certain Carol Connors, who is none other than Thora’s mother. Moreover, Thora’s father Jack was also in pornos.

Not that this information really helps or changes anything, but it might shed some light on Thora’s reported willingness and eagerness to do her famous topless scene from American Beauty.
