Marilyn Chambers, Legendary Adult Actress, Dead at 57
The world-famous performer worked in both XXX and mainstream films
Marilyn Chambers, star of such golden age classics as Behind the Green
Door and Insatiable, was found dead Sunday in the mobile home where she
had been living for the past several months. She was 57. Chambers was
found by her daughter, McKenna. No cause of death is yet known, and an
autopsy will be performed.
Chambers, who said she began performing under her real name because she
was unashamed of what she did, was nonetheless born Marilyn Ann Briggs,
and she made 16 movies during the period 1972 to 1986, mostly for the
Mitchell Brothers and Caballero Home Video. It was at Caballero that she
created the series Marilyn Chambers' Private Fantasies. During this
period, she was married to her manager, Chuck Traynor, and though they
were divorced in 1985, when Chambers made her comeback film for VCA
Pictures, Still Insatiable, in 1998, she requested that Traynor be present
for the filming to lend her moral support. The comeback, however, was
short-lived, generating just nine movies, some of which were non-sex
roles. Chambers tried her hand at producing as well, creating what was
hoped to be a continuing series, Nantucket Housewives, for her own
company, Damaged Productions.
Chambers was also famous for having appeared as the "cover girl" on boxes
of Ivory Snow detergent, and was the star of David Cronenberg's horror
film Rabid in 1977.
