I remember reading an account of the scene from ‘Behind the Green Door’ where Marilyn Chambers is savagely fucked by a black guy with a large dick. It was the early seventies so that sort of interracial thing had more frisson and cache than it does today. As was often the case with actresses in that golden age of porn she hadn’t made a sex film before and hadn’t had much experience with black men in real life prior to that scene. He actually also had some stage experience having been in a west coast production of the musical ‘Hair’, but he hadn’t been in an erotic film before either.
The scene was really hot, he was dressed in a white leotard with beads and charms around his neck and a hole cut out of the crotch so that his massive erection could hang through. She struggled to fit all his meat into her mouth. This was before that whole contrived deep throat idea came along so she was mostly just a regular woman orally dealing with an above average penis. Her wide eyes and earnest effort indicated that it was clearly a labor of love. His dark tool was accented by the white tights and set off by her pale cheeks and soft golden hair. My first few girlfriends never put their faces anywhere near my groin with the intent of sucking me so this was virgin viewing territory. She was in bliss and her black partner reluctantly extricated himself from her mouth to place himself at her gate with deliberate intent. She grimaced joyfully as if thinking how totally filled she was when he slowly slid his entire manhood into her. She was tight and pink and happy and I’m sure the set was filled with the smell of pussy that day.
In a subsequent interview they each independently said they had come early on in the shoot. According to both of them the scene went on all afternoon. He was so excited that he kept it up for most of the time, but neither of them was able to really enjoy it the way they wished what with stopping so often and abruptly to change for camera angles and lighting and what not.
Afterwards they both found themselves alone in the shower together, talked about what had just happened. It didn’t take long for them to realize they both wanted to come again, so they had very satisfying sex in the shower, under the water, with no camera or crew around. I almost get more excited thinking about them in the shower afterwards than the film itself.
I hope her passing was gentle and her journey fulfilling. Hers was a life well lived. We are blessed to have had her in our midst for a while.

So sad to hear about her……As Susie said, the pooltable scene will be forever etched in my mind as well…truely remarkable woman…And I remember the “scandal” of her image on the Ivory Soap Box right after “behind the Green Door” came out…and gotta love her smile….RIP, we’ll never forget you!
Personally, even though I preferred her before the breast augmentation, in my book, she will always be 99 and 44/100% pure! She will be missed…
Man, I loved her. I had a crush on her like I never had on any other porn star. She’s an icon, and she will be missed.
At the moment I write (early Tuesday evening in the U.S.) Marilyn Chambers has the lead obituary in the _New York Times_, a measure of her cultural prominence.
Susie Bright has indeed written a remarkable remembrance. As Marilyn has been re-embraced by the blessed calm of non-existence, I can only express the hope that future generation will remember her with the respect that Susie has paid.
Marilyn Chambers together with Vanessa Del Rio and a few others showed that hardcore could be sensual and erotic in the same films.Something which is a reminder of how pathetic the adult films of today are.
