Well we all die! It just depends on when. She was and always will be remembered by me, she was the first pornstar I had a crush on in my youth!

R.I.P. Marilyn.

I'm sure everyone here will miss you greatly.

One of the greats has passed on.

One of the true legends of adult films is gone. I was lucky enough to see her dance once. I met her afterwards. She was very sweet and even sexier in person than she was on screen(which is saying something). She will always be missed, she will always be remembered.

My god, first Jack Wrangler, now Marilyn. I saw "Together" in a movie theatre in 1972. I wonder who'll be next?
Maybe we should start a dead pool...

I met her at a premiere viewing of Insatiable II years ago.

Marilyn Chambers, Legendary Adult Actress, Dead at 57

The world-famous performer worked in both XXX and mainstream films
By Mark Kernes
04/13/2009

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — 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.

Johnnie Keyes, one of her co-stars in Behind the Green Door, remarked, "We were really close. I’m still in shock. It’s like it’s not even really hitting me yet. I don’t know what my feelings are. It’s like my brain is protecting me right but the gloom is starting to set in."

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.

I just read this sad news. It'll be a difficult time for her family and my heart goes out to them. I watched and enjoyed her films. I watched I think it was called Private Fantasies many times. She was one of the few to become a household name. It's too bad she never made it big in the mainstream. She certainly had a unique look and personality which came across in her movies. She left us too soon.

A sad loss to us all. RIP Marilyn. The thoughts of all your fans are with you and your family

Wow! I remember seeing her for the first time in a Hustler. And I thought she had one of the best looking pussies ever. I hadn't seen any to that time, but I knew, I just knew! RIP Marilyn

RIP to a classic adult film star. I really dug her and she wasn't a bad actress either.
