As filming wrapped, the crew returned to NY for post-production work on Deep Throat And Chuck and Linda began thinking about their next steps — as both manager and performer as well as husband and wife. You can read or listen to the previous episodes here. But on the way back, Chuck told Linda he wanted to make a stop in North Carolina to visit his mother. Chuck and Elaine. He had shared how his mother, Elaine, had been young and unwed when she got pregnant with him, and that he was raised by his grandparents.
How as a kid, contact with his mother had been almost nonexistent. His grandparents meant well, and Chuck loved them, but he had lost a lot of time — time that Elaine and Chuck were now determined to make up.
Linda felt a glimmer of hope at the prospect of visiting Elaine. Maybe she could even forge a bond with Elaine that would encourage Chuck to treat her better. Chuck was the apple of her eye; he could do no wrong. When he was with his mother, Chuck became the perfect gentleman. As long as we were under her roof, he was even polite to me. His mother was obviously crazy about her son.
She was proud of his having been a Marine, a pilot, and a man in business for himself. She told us stories going back to the time when Chuck was a little boy and she had left his father.
