Marilyn Chambers dies at 56; '70s porn star and Ivory Snow model

By Dennis McLellan
April 14, 2009

Marilyn Chambers, the legendary adult movie queen who was the wholesome model on Ivory Snow detergent boxes in the early 1970s when she made her adult movie debut in the X-rated classic "Behind the Green Door," has died. She was 56. Chambers was found unconscious Sunday evening at her home in Canyon Country, said Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Ed Winter. The cause of death is under investigation, but foul play is not suspected and an autopsy is pending.

47. I was going to play some clips,

Edited on Mon Apr-13-09 08:45 PM by RandomThoughts

but on second thought, instead of playing clips, how about a Princes bride music video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvTCffd2ElA

(Note: No current news story correlation.)

Unlike those that just strive for lesser reasons,
Wesley is a true and honorable pirate,
And with the Giant, and the Spaniard,
stormed the castle, to save his princess.

Such a great story.

Some favorite lines,
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle.
Valerie: Think it'll work?
Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.

You got to watch the movie. It is an strong limb movie with many branches.

Many years ago, I BRIEFLY dated someone who tried to read the first chapter of The Princess Bride aloud to the people at a party, even though no one was listening.

I figured that anything he liked wasn't worth reading.

I'll never understand why so many people love it so much. I was badgered into watching it a second time by my girlfriend, why didn't understand why I didn't march in lockstep with those she calls "everyone else" and love it.

81. Actually I don't think of it as a children's movie

It's extemely clever satire of the fairy tales and pirate movies that most of us grew up on---I actually think alot of the humor is NOT aimed at children...most of those I know who saw it and loved it were adults when they saw it...and I have read stories from the original author William Golding which makes me think he was aiming it at adults
