Exorcist Star Linda Blair to Make a Guest Appearance on Supernatural

Linda Blair, best known as the head-spinning little girl in The Exorcist, will make a special guest appearance on The CW’s Supernatural opposite Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, reports Extra.
In this episode, she plays a Baltimore detective who arrests Dean and Sam Winchester on suspicion of murder. Supernatural returns for its second season on September 28th, but Blair’s episode won’t air until November 9th.
Blair’s role as Regan McNeil earned her an Oscar nomination as well as death threats. Like many child actors, the scrunity and pressure of show business led her onto a path of self-destruction. Her career degenerated to the point where she played exploitative roles.
In 2000, she tried to balance her mystery/paranormal resume by joining the cast of the teen pop show S Club 7 in L.A. The guest appearance on Supernatural is part of Blair’s career comeback, which Extra will profile among a series of segments, entitled A Star is Reborn. This series begins tonight.




The Exorcist still ranks up there with the scariest.
Blair was incredible.

Yes, she was. I’ll never forget her performance as Little Regan. I agree, the Exorcist is a must-see classic.
