During a recent fan Q&A in New York City, Plumb, 68, revealed that while her parents, Neely and Flora, were “so protective” of her, they encouraged her to audition for less wholesome roles, such as the lead role in the 1976 teen prostitution movie, Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway.
Plumb shared details about her audition for The Exorcist in her book, Happiness Included, noting, “I had read the book, surprisingly, even though I was young. Jamie Lee Curtis wanted to audition as Regan, but her parents objected to the storyline and what would be required as a child actor.”
The Brady Bunch star shared that over 500 young girls auditioned for the role of demonically possessed teen Regan MacNeil, including Laura Dern, Kim Basinger, and Melanie Griffith, before Linda Blair won the part at age 13.
