People in the '70s knew two things about Marilyn Chambers: she had appeared as a model on an Ivory Snow box, holding an infant under the corporate slogan "99 and 44/100% Pure"; and she starred in Behind the Green Door, one of the first, weirdest and most popular hard-core movies in that brief period of the '70s known as "porno chic."The adult film legend died at age 56.... found in her mobile home by a family member.
Chambers' death was a "total shock," [fellow adult star Ron Jeremy}]said, because they had been scheduled to sign a contract Monday to perform together in an off-Broadway "tongue-in-cheek" re-enactment of the porn classic "Deep Throat." "What's strange is that she was at a stage where she was totally happy and totally content with her life," Jeremy said. "Her life was falling together, and she was doing really well."
I saw Ron Jeremy at the airport in Miami one time...can't believe that guy is still working...must be the Viagra.
Here is a video clip of Chambers on PBS in 1977. PBS interviewers have to be the only people alive that could put you to sleep during an interview about porn.
