Marilyn Chambers, a former porn star died last Sunday at her Los Angeles home in Canyon Country.
She was found dead at 8:51 p.m. at her home in the 16000 block of Vasquez Canyon, said Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter. The cause of her death is still under investigation but foul play is not suspected and an autopsy will be performed.
Marilyn Chamber’s real name was Marilyn Ann Taylor.
Chambers gave up her lucrative modeling career in 1972 to become a porn star. She was nationally known, at the time, as
the Ivory Snow girl who’s slogan was 99.9% pure. She first starred in the X-rated “Behind the Green Door” film which is now a cult classic.
The movie instantly created a buying frenzy on boxes of Ivory Snow soap, which featured Chambers’ innocent looking face.
Marilyn broke down many barriers in adult films including the first interracial scene in a mainstream adult film.
