Adult film star Marilyn Chambers dies at 56
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.

holy sh*t. that’s horrible. rip.
Oh my God….When I was a kid just discovering his own sexuality, porn was something dirty, something at which you sneaked a quick peak and then issued profound apologies to the universe.
Then came Marilyn…Marilyn was the first porn star I knew by name, the first one I loved. At a time when the “ideal sexual woman” was a Playboy-inspired tart with big hair and big curves, Marilyn was a slender, athletic “girl-next-door” type whose outward innocence was as powerful as her amazing, raw, inner sexuality.
When watching a Marilyn movie, you didn’t fast-forward through the “acting” parts to get right to the sex. Instead, you cherished every second she was on the screen…as aroused by her in a simple blue dress as you were in her most intense action.
In my fantasies, she was more than just the ideal sexual partner, she was the ideal girlfriend, the ideal woman, the ideal friend.
Godspeed Marilyn, and thank you.
…today, I feel old.
