Marilyn Ann Taylor (nee Briggs (born April 22 1952 – April 12 2009) was professionally known under the catchy name Marilyn Chambers, was an American pornographic film actress as well as exotic dancer, model and vice-presidential contender. Her fame was centered around her debut in the hardcore genre of film in 1972, Behind the Green Door and her pornographic film from 1980, Insatiable. Insatiable was ranked no. sixth on the listing of Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time by AVN and was named one of the Playboy’s Top 100 Sex Stars of the Century in 1999. While she was most well-known for her work in adult films but she also made a smooth transition into mainstream productions and was dubbed “porn’s most famous crossover”.

Chambers tried to get work with dance and theater companies in San Francisco to no avail. In 1972, she saw ads published in the San Francisco Chronicle for a casting call for what was described as the “major motion picture”. She attended an audition, only to discover that it was for an unpromising film that was to be titled Behind the Green Door. She was ready to go when producer Artie And Jim Mitchell noticed her resemblance to Cybill Shepherd. They invited her up to their offices and explained to her about the story of the film. Chambers was extremely hesitant about taking on a role in a pornographic film concerned that it would hinder her chances of breaking in to the world of. However, she was intrigued by the appeal of the tale and took a risk on the condition that she earn a huge pay as well as 10 percent of film’s revenue. The actress also demanded that each actor be tested for venereal diseases. They Mitchell Brothers balked at her request to receive a percentage of the film’s profit and finally agreed to it after realizing that the film required a healthy blonde actress.

In 1974, she starred in the dinner theater production of The Mind With the Dirty Man in Las Vegas and received favorable reviews for her work. The play ran for 52 weeks which, at the time, was the longest-running play in Vegas history, and the mayor gave Chambers the key to the city. In 1976, she starred in a short-lived musical revue off-Broadway called Le Bellybutton. In 1977, she starred in Neil Simon’s Last of the Red Hot Lovers in Vegas. The one-woman show Sex Surrogate, in 1979, caused controversy in Vegas as it featured full- frontal nudity, which was banned from all casinos. In 1983, the play was spun off into a 26-part syndicated soap opera called Love Ya Florence Nightingale. It was broadcast on cable television channels such as the Playboy Channel.

Chambers wrote an autobiography, My Story, in 1975, and co-authored Xaviera Meets Marilyn Chambers with Xaviera Hollander in 1977. Both were published by Warner Communications. She also wrote a sex advice column in the mid-to-late 1970s for Genesis magazine called “Private Chambers”, and one for Club magazine throughout the 1980s called “State of the Nation”. In 1981 she released a book of sex positions and tips called Sensual Secrets. One of the male models featured in the photos with Marilyn was a young Ron Jeremy. The same year, she released another sex manual called The Illustrated Kama Sutra.

Following the film’s release, The Owl and the Pussycat, Chambers was sent to Los Angeles and San Francisco for a tour of promotion. After that she did not receive any roles except for a low-budget film, writer-director-producer Sean S. Cunningham’s Together (1971), in which she appeared nude. The year 1970 was the time she made the move away from Westport into San Francisco, where she worked in a variety of roles, including models who were topless and dancers who were bottomless. “I moved to San Francisco thinking it was the entertainment capital of the world, which indeed, it is not,” she told me.

Following Behind the Green Door, the Mitchell Brothers and Chambers teamed up for Resurrection of Eve, released in September 1973. Although not the runaway blockbuster that Green Door was, Eve was a hit and a well-received entry into the porno chic market. It also helped set Chambers apart from her contemporaries Linda Lovelace and Georgina Spelvin as the wholesome, all- American girl next door. Following Eve, Chambers was anxious to transition her fame into other areas of entertainment. At the time the Mitchell Brothers were still her managers. “They were always talking about some half-assed idea I knew wouldn’t come off”, Chambers said in 1992. ” ‘Flakes’ is a terrible word but they were, in a cute sort of way”. Chambers had always considered the brothers as her own brothers but when she abruptly announced that she was leaving them to take up with Chuck Traynor, they were appalled and had a falling out with Chambers.
