Adult Star Marilyn Chambers Found Dead in Santa Clarita Home

Adult film star Marilyn Chambers was found dead in Santa Clarita, possibly from an overdose Legendary adult film star Marilyn Chambers was found dead inside her Santa Clarita home yesterday, according to an AVN business report. Chambers, just days shy of her 57th birthday, was found by her teenage daughter, McKenna; the cause of death remains unknown and an autopsy is due to be performed, although early rumors speculate it was an overdose of pills and alcohol. Chambers made a name for herself in the 1970s and 80s, most notably in the "Private Fantasies" series of adult films, but was also known as having once been the model on the Ivory Soap box, which was referenced in many of her movies. In recent years, Chambers tried to run for public office as either a write-in alternate or on the Personal Choice Party ticket. She had been living in the mobile home in Santa Clarita where she was found yesterday for the past several months.
