: Did you know that she asked NOT to be credited for that part in the Exorcist? True.
...because I've heard that AND that she was supposed to be credited. In fact, it was in CNN's
little obit:
"Because of her great vocal skills, McCambridge was hired to portray The Demon in William
Friedkin's 1973 smash hit "The Exorcist." After weeks of what she called the hardest work
she had done for a film, she had been promised prominent mention in the credits.
But when she attended the preview, her name was missing. As she left the theater in tears,
Friedkin tried to explain that there had been no time to insert her credit. The Screen Actors
Guild intervened and forced her inclusion in the credits."
