    ‘MONSTER MAKERS’ CAST BIOS LINDA BLAIR (Shelley Stoker) – Linda Blair’s acting career began at the age of five when she appeared in a Downy fabric softener ad – the first of more than 75 television commercials to her credit. The exposure she received from these commercials led to ® her casting in “The Exorcist,” in which her riveting performance earned her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe and People’s Choice awards. Blair has performed on stage, screen and television. Among her theatrical releases are the hilarious parody, “Repossessed,” co-starring Leslie Nielsen, and the independent feature “Marina,” for which she received the Best Actress Award from the New Orleans Film Festival. She is currently developing an independent feature film to direct for the 2004 festival circuit. Blair’s credits include the top-rated TV movies “Born Innocent,” “Sarah T. – Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic,” as well as “Victory at Entebbe” with Elizabeth Taylor, “Sweet Hostage” opposite Martin Sheen, and “Summer of Fear,” directed by Wes Craven. She also guest-starred as Peg Bundy’s cousin in the smash comedy “Married … with Children,” starred in the popular “S Club 7 in L.A.” and served as host and creative consultant for the hit reality series, “The Scariest Places on Earth.” In 1997, Blair made her Broadway debut as Rizzo in “Grease.” She starred opposite Sally Kellerman in the Los Angeles production of the hit comedy, “Women Behind Bars,” in the San Francisco production of “Run for Your Wife,” and in the Canadian production of the romantic comedy, “It Had To Be You.” Blair’s career as an activist is as extensive – and passionate – as her acting.
