Full Biography

"For actors just starting out, securing a significant role in a major film could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that might require pushing boundaries for success. Such was the case for Linda Morell (also known as Linda Morrell) when she landed a part in Paul Schrader's 1979 R-rated drama 'Hardcore'. Although Season Hubley was presumably the film's main draw, Morell stole the show with her impressive performance. Though she had only a few lines, her exchange with George C. Scott left an indelible mark. Dressed in nothing but a gold necklace and belt as a strip club hostess, Morell's acting prowess shone alongside her prominent assets. Despite 'Hardcore' being her sole cinematic outing, Morell's memorable scene will forever be etched in the collective unconscious of moviegoers. While Morrell's career never took off beyond this film, one can't help but wonder what might have been had she continued to grace our screens."

Story

In 'Hardcore', a stern Calvinist businessman from Grand Rapids, Michigan named Jake Van Dorn discovers that his teenage daughter, Niki, has run away to Los Angeles without any trace. Desperate to find her, he travels there and hires a private detective who leads him into the city's sordid underworld of pornography. Jake witnesses the gritty reality of adult films being made in L.A.'s grimy peep shows and studios. After a long search, they finally locate Niki working in hardcore pornographic films. Shocked by his daughter's situation, Jake confronts her on set, but she refuses to leave with him. The film culminates in an intense showdown between father and daughter.
