Amanda Seyfried Swallows Her Pride As "Lovelace"

Sneak Peek new images of actors Amanda Seyfried as 'Linda Lovelace' and James Franco as 'Hugh Hefner', on the Los Angeles set of the currently shooting bio-pic "Lovelace".

Producers are Avi Lerner, Heidi Jo Markel and Laura Rister.

Production started January 2012.
