Porn star Marilyn Chamber dead

The L.A. Times reports:
Marilyn Chambers, a former Ivory Snow detergent model who became a porn star, died Sunday at her Canyon Country home. She was 56.
Chambers, whose real name is Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found unresponsive at 8:51 p.m. at her residence it the 16000 block of Vasquez Canyon, said Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Ed Winter. The cause of death is under investigation but foul play was not suspected and an autopsy is pending.
Chambers became a pop culture phenomenon when she gave up work as a model advertising Ivory Snow laundry detergent to star in the X-rated "Behind the Green Door" in 1972.
This was actually tipped to me by a commenter at The Green Room. Green Room, Green Door, what's the difference, right?

  1. I'm sad to learn of this. Many times I've wished her a long, healthy and happy life.

    Good voyaging beyond the gave, Marilyn.
