Sad day. Marilyn Chambers, Ivory Snow detergent model turned porn star, is dead.
Kelly O—formerly a Stranger staff photographer, music writer, Drunk of the Week columnist, and more!—finished art school and a soul-crushing internship at a corporate advertising agency in Detroit,... More by Kelly O
That’s too bad. She was kind of young, right? She peaked before I discovered chronic masturbation.
oh, so Marilyn Chambers (a toast to Marilyn Chambers, by the way) gets a Slog obit but when GAY porn icon Jack Wrangler kicked the bucked last week, NOT A PEEP!!!!
WTF?!?!?!
The continued homosexism of The Stranger is an outrage…maybe it would help if you would hire a couple GAY people to write for this rag.
Honestly.
Insatiable is the first porn I saw – at Northwestern U, 1982. RIP, and may the causes be natural.
She was 56. What a character. Not just a porn star, but sex educator, raconteur, and holder of the keys of the city of San Francisco.
Oh, wow. Yeah, I’m very much the right age for her to have made a big impression on me. Sorry to hear that.
You might want to wash those, Fnarf.
I find Ivory Soap works best.
“Behind the Green Door” was the first genuine porn I ever read (and self-abused myself to) – 13 pages of single-spaced type – how quaint. Never saw the movie as the memory of the written word was vastly superior to anything on celluoid. But secretly wondered if they filmed the one-woman/seven man sequence with any verisimilitude.
I saw Insatiable II many years ago.
On Betamax.
I’d say I’m dating myself, but that’s usually what I did while watching the movie anyways.
she was that rare thing…a female 70’s porn star who was actually attractive and didn’t look like she’d been working truck stops for the ‘tips’
I should have posted the Benihana video. Marilyn Does Discotheque!

she was athletic, wholesome and handsome. that had never happened in porn before. right? was that the big deal about her? or was it the ivory soap girl scandal?
Harry Kalas died today too. Two 70s icons.
@12. RIP. Very, very sad about that.
If you’ve never seen Behind the Green Door, you should. It’s amazing, and not just as a porno. some of the stuff in that film just looks great.
Chambers was NOT the Ivory Soap girl. She was the Ivory Soap MOM.
Well, she definitively made a valiant effort at moving what God gave her or at least tried to LMAO.
wow..loveschild just got a tiny giggle from me..i still believe in miracles.
Good-bye to the object of desire of many of my late nights.
Your cooter burned out long ago…
Your legend never did…..
I wish we danced like we did in the 70s.
