Adult film star Marilyn Chambers dies at 56

LOS ANGELES – A friend of adult film star Marilyn Chambers says the actress has been found dead at her home in northern Los Angeles County.

Peggy McGinn says the 56-year-old Chambers was found by her 17-year-old daughter Sunday night and the cause of death has not been determined.

Chambers starred in the 1972 film "Behind the Green Door," which was more widely distributed and attracted a more mainstream audience than the usual adult fare.

Chambers, whose given name was Marilyn Briggs, was once a model for Ivory Snow. She was among the first porn superstars when the stag films of the 1940s through 1960s gave way to the more polished sex films of the 1970s.

Wow, young. I never saw any of her porn, but I did see "Rabid" from 1977. Based on the list on IMDB, it looks like she was still doing some.

What really got me from the original post was "more polished sex films of the 1970s". That's scary.

Behind the green door was shot not far from Sacremento. I know this because the Mansion house used, is now a bed and breakfast, where my sister had her wedding...

I'll bet she didn't choke to death.

[widebody911]

This time when she said "Oh god, I'm coming!" she meant it...

[Milu]

Sad,
I saw her live in the late 70s. A really fun show I still remember.
Apparently her famous ring was a gift from Sammy Davis jnr.
R.I.P.

I'll always have a special image in my mind...she driving a ragtop 356 along a fog shrouded California coastal highway...the opening scenes of her famous flick.

[JCF]

Paul, I would have thought your favorite scene would have been where she is "playing pool" in "Insatiable" - not sure if it was the first or second.

A few brutal comments. Just shows their ignorance. I met the woman once , a very nice person.
And I believe the pool scene was from II

RIP Marilyn

I'll confess to not having seen a lot of porn flicks...missed that one.

There was also a hot G/G [swimming] pool scene in that one.

She definitely had a sweetness to her, along with that complete wildness - just the kind of woman you want to meet - at least once.

RIP as well.

Details ??

You may be thinking of "Insatiable". It had the pool scene and she was driving a Ferrari Dino wearing a Ferrari t-shirt (removed in the pool scene if I recall correctly).

She was a beautiful woman, one of the most talented porn stars ever and one of my favorites. Very sad to see her go so young.
