Porn star.

Amanda Seyfried’s (ex-Joni) poster for the upcoming movie “Lovelace” has been released and is making quite the splash. In the film, Seyfried plays Linda Lovelace, the 70’s porn star best known for “Deep Throat.” “Lovelace” will follow the actress as she becomes a star in the porn world, while battling her abusive husband, who she claimed forced her to make the infamous movie.

The production boasts a star studded cast including Peter Sarsgaard (“Green Lantern”) as Lovelace’s husband Chuck Traynor and James Franco (ex-Franco, “General Hospital”) as a young Hugh Hefner. “Lovelace” is expected to hit theatres this year.

Seyfried played Jamie Martin’s (then played by Micah Alberti) girlfriend and Reggie’s (Michael B. Jordan) friend Joni Stafford on “All My Children” from 2002 – 2003, as well as Lucy Montgomery on “As the World Turns” from 2000 – 2001. She has since starred in “Mean Girls,” “Big Love,” “Mamma Mia!,” “Dear John,” “Gone” and many other projects.
