Adult Star Marilyn Chambers Found Dead
Famed adult film star Marilyn Chambers was found dead in her home in the Canyon Country area, authorities said Monday, and an autopsy was pending to determine how she died.
Look back at the most notable deaths of the year.
The 56-year-old Chambers, whose real name was Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found dead around 9 p.m. Sunday in the 16000 block of Vasquez Canyon Road, said Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the coroner's office.
Chambers broke into the porn industry by appearing in the 1972 film "Behind the Green Door," which was the first widely released pornographic film in the United States.
Her appearance in the film cost the then-aspiring model and actress her job as Procter & Gamble's Ivory Snow detergent girl, appearing on the soapbox with a baby and the caption "99 & 44/100% pure."
The Providence, R.I., native had a bit part in the 1970 Barbra Streisand film "The Owl and the pussycat," but after establishing herself as a pornographic film star, she was never able to break into mainstream films.

This is probably just for the guys,besides Deep Throat ,MC was the it girl for porn in the 70/80`s.Any guy 35yrs and older knows of this woman.I remember at 19 going to a up-class strip joint and MC was the headliner.She had a band and sang some tunes then talked abit about her life then stripped.For me her one story that made me laugh was her with the XXX star John Holmes.Her story was`yes we all know he is really big,but it was like f@#king a dong,it was big but not hard.
Anyways,just one more thing she did try other stuff/movies this was one movie she was in from a great director,great horror movie.
