Marilyn Chambers, a former pornographic actress, stripteaser and political candidate, has died at the age of 56 in her L.A. County home. The cause of her death remains unknown.

Marilyn Chambers, a former Ivory Snow detergent model who became a porn star, died Sunday at her Canyon Country home. She was 56.

Chambers, whose real name is Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found unresponsive at 8:51 p.m. at her residence it the 16000 block of Vasquez Canyon, said Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Ed Winter. The cause of death is under investigation but foul play was not suspected and an autopsy is pending.

Chambers became a pop culture phenomenon when she gave up work as a model advertising Ivory Snow laundry detergent to star in the X-rated "Behind the Green Door" in 1972.

Echoing Queensharts' reply in a much less eloquent way, I remember seeing a short report I believe on MTV about 8 years ago about a fetish porn star named Chloe, (I had seen a film of hers and recognized her)  who was a nymphomaniac and it detailed how her professional life was really a search for inner peace that she never could reach. Each experience tried to be more over the top but left her emptier and emptier, it was truly sad. She never could have a relationship or love and if you judge and condemn such a person you not only better have no sins in your past, your heartless condemnation is really a sin of its own.

As for Ms Chambers some may not see it this way but surely she brought some happiness to many people at the time so she has some earthly redemption.

 Thousands, even millions, inserted a tape and pressed play and when they touched themselves she touched the world. Should Marilyn rise to heaven, let heaven get a rise from Marilyn.  Amen.
