LOS ANGELES - A friend of adult film star Marilyn Chambers says the actress has been found dead at her home in northern Los Angeles County.
Peggy McGinn says the 56-year-old Chambers was found by her 17-year-old daughter Sunday night and the cause of death has not been determined.
Chambers starred in the 1972 film "Behind the Green Door," which was more widely distributed and attracted a more mainstream audience than the usual adult fare.
Chambers, whose given name was Marilyn Briggs, was once a model for Ivory Snow. <span style="font-weight: bold">She was among the first porn superstars when the stag films of the 1940s through 1960s gave way to the <span style="font-style: italic">more polished sex films of the 1970s</span>.</span>
