The scene where Regan's demon manifestation seduces Father Lamont was originally set to be much more sexually explicit, graphic, and offensively grotesque. When Linda Blair and Richard Burton found out about it, both refused to do it. Richard Burton, who was 52 years old at the time and a notorious playboy, was not comfortable engaging in the scripted lewd acts with then 17-year-old Linda Blair, as he viewed her as a daughter figure. Blair herself viewed Burton as a sort of mentor and father figure and expressed discomfort in having to sexually entice him in such a lascivious manner. John Borman eventually agreed to tone down the scene, but nonetheless it was still an uncomfortable experience for both the actors.
