The girl’s father worked as an advertising agent, her mother ran a household. The family lived in the small town of Westpoint, Connecticut, but Rhode Island was Marilyn's hometown.
The childhood of the future actress was serene and quite ordinary. The girl studied well at school, and after graduating, she decided to try herself as a model. The father, who had contacts with film studios and advertising agencies, helped his daughter get to the auditions. The pretty and relaxed girl liked the producers and even starred in several commercials. The most famous advertising series dedicated to Ivory Snow Laundry Detergent by Procter & Gamble. Marilyn convincingly played the role of a young pretty housewife and was remembered by the public.
Actress and model career
Successful advertising shootings were the start for work in the cinema. In 1970, at the age of 18, Marilyn starred in a small role in the film "Eagle Owl and the Cat". On the set, the young actress met real stars, among whom was Barbara Streisand. Communication with famous and charismatic persons was very impressive for Marilyn. From now on, she dreamed of Hollywood and could not imagine her life without a movie.
In search of worthy roles, the aspiring actress moved to Los Angeles and began to walk through endless castings. She believed in her star, but the directors were in no hurry to offer the debutant interesting roles. All she could count on was episodes in low-budget films that did not pretend to be on the big screen. Such options did not suit an ambitious girl. Like any aspiring actress, she dreamed of big money and fame, and she planned to achieve both of them as quickly as possible. Marilyn changed her modest surname to a sonorous pseudonym, planning to start a new, more successful life.
In Hollywood, Chambers faced a brutal reality: there were much more ambitious and pretty starlets here than suitable roles. Even for the episodes there was fierce competition. Marilyn shone the career of a waitress or saleswoman spending all her free time on endless and unsuccessful trials. Chronic lack of money also became a problem: the girl could not hope for the help of her parents, she also did not have a secured boyfriend. At times, Marilyn fell into despair, but stubbornly believed in her star.
Chambers' dream of a career in the cinema came true, but not in the usual way. The only interesting proposal was a role in an erotic film. For a career, this option was not ideal, but the young actress was offered an impressive fee, which she could not refuse. In 1971, Marilyn starred in the movie "Together, " teeming with frank scenes. The audience and directors appreciated the luxurious forms of the girl, her naturalness and immediacy. In addition, the girl also had acting talent. Marilyn quickly acquired fans, and offers from producers began to arrive almost monthly. Among the most famous works are the films "Behind the Green Door" and "Sextrospective."
The career of the porn actress was very successful, but Chambers herself admitted that at first it was painfully difficult for her to undress in front of the camera. A significant plus was the fees that have grown steadily. In parallel, Marilyn starred for men's magazines and ads, her photos repeatedly fell on glossy covers.
Chambers starred long enough, but decisively ended her career when she realized that she had lost her beauty. Having stopped shooting in the cinema, she tried herself in the role of a singer, but did not have much success. Marilyn recorded a couple of albums and left a singing career. On her account and several books: a very frank autobiography and sex manuals. Chambers talked about her journey into the porn business, the features of shooting, a variety of erotic techniques and beauty secrets. Marilyn quite successfully proved herself as a producer and screenwriter.
