Marilyn Chambers, one of the legends of swelluloid, would have been 62 today! Unfortunately she was taken too soon, just days before her 57th birthday in 2009. While she never rose to real super stardom, she also never lost her mind and renounced her filmography the way another of her contemporaries did. Going from hardcore sensation in Behind the Green Door to scream queen in Rabid, Marilyn transitioned well into softcore, and left behind a legacy that's worth celebrating again and again!

Marilyn exploded onto the scene with the incredibly popular hardcore flick Behind the Green Door in 1972, becoming a superstar seemingly overnight! And it's not hard to see why, as Marilyn showed everything, and devoured everything put in front of her! This would be the start of something great!Marilyn2

Director David Cronenberg enlisted Marilyn's talents for his directorial debut, Rabid, five years later, and Marilyn became the first crossover star of the day!Marilyn


Though she never really attained superstardom, she definitely stayed in the zeitgeist thanks to projects like Marilyn Chambers' Bedtime Stories, and numerous roles in softcore flicks like Bikini Bistro and Desire! Thanks for the mammaries Marilyn, we'll never forget you!
