Marilyn Chambers (1952-2009)Probably one of the most famous names, along with John Holmes, in the history of the adult film biz. Marilyn Chambers may be best known for titles like Behind The Green Door (1972) and Insatiable (1980) as well as being the Ivory Snow girl, but she holds a very respectable credit in the horror genre as well.
In 1977 Ms. Chambers starred in David Cronenberg's Rabid, where she gains a taste for human blood after a bizarre encounter with plastic surgery. Her victims, who are bled in a very...original manner, become crazed zombies and begin infecting others around them and an epidemic breaks out across the city. A really interesting entry into Cronenberg's body horror era, the film has a strong cult status though not much of a success on it's initial release. The idea of casting Chambers in the film came from the films producer Ivan Reitman, who had heard Chambers was looking to branch out into mainstream movies.
Chambers was 56 when she passed and as of this posting time, they have not released the cause.
