LOS ANGELES—A friend of adult film star Marilyn Chambers says the actress has been found dead at her home in northern Los Angeles County.

Peggy McGinn says the 56-year-old Chambers was found by her 17-year-old daughter Sunday night and the cause of death has not been determined.

Chambers starred in the 1972 film "Behind the Green Door," which was more widely distributed and attracted a more mainstream audience than the usual adult fare.

Chambers, whose given name was Marilyn Briggs, was once a model for Ivory Snow. She was among the first porn superstars when the stag films of the 1940s through 1960s gave way to the more polished sex films of the 1970s.

Let us pray for her soul with the most appropriate smilie ever:

She wasn't on my list.

She later claimed to have been coerced into making Behind the Green Door by organized crime. She became an advocate for women's rights and a vocal opponent of the porn industry.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

You're confusing her with Linda Lovelace and Deep Throat, Zkrib. Chambers was true to porn to the very end, though in recent years she did more softcore.

[Zkribbler]

Ah...you are correct.

[SlowwHand]

Rufus knows his porn history.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Actually, I have the dubious distinction of being one of only two people I know to have read multiple porn autobiographies (the other person is the friend who keeps giving them to me as gag gifts), including Lovelace's (which is harrowing) and Jerry Butler's (which is hilarious).

I may not know you, have seen you, but I raise a toast to hte [I]ecstasy/I] that you have brought humanity...

I never saw behind the green door but I remember being 13 and watching Taboo with a bunch of guys after one of them found a VHS tape in their dad's sock drawer.
