Marilyn Chambers - My Story by Marilyn Chambers

My mother was Marilyn Taylor, the most loving and understanding woman Ive ever known. My mother was special, she had an air about her that was unmatched by anyone Ive known to this day. I did not know the women who wrote this book and started the legacy of Marilyn Chambers but I am extremely proud of her. When writing this book, I believe my mother wanted people to know who the girl next door and behind that green door really was. To me shes just my mom.

My mother taught me many important lessons and at the top of that list was honesty. She never lied to me. I remember finding out who my mother was, along with many of my friends at the time, no doubt recognized by their parents. She was willing to tell me everything once I was ready to know, which I wasnt for a big chunk of my life. When I was ready to hear about her life adventures we sat down, and she let me lead the conversation. We had a wonderful open talk, with lots of gasps and laughs. I asked her every question you could imagine, and she gave me nothing but the truth in her responses.

My mother was a phenomenal chef, and Im not just saying that because I am her daughter. She would always be in the kitchen creating new recipes for my friends and I to try. Besides cooking my mother loved being outside, gardening and taking our dogs for walks. Friendship was big for my mother because when she called you her friend, that is what you were. She would do anything for you and was extremely loyal.

There is no doubt that my mother had an exciting life with experiences left and right. Whenever I needed anything I knew I could come to her and never had to be afraid or embarrassed. Even my closest friends would talk to her about things they couldnt open up about to their own parents.

Knowing my mother had such a monumental impact upon the sexual revolution takes my breath away. Every decision she made not only impacted her but the world in its entirety. When my mom was in her prime of the adult film industry, she explained it to me as a glamorous and exciting lifestyle. She got to see a different side of the world and that industry that most never will. She was able to express herself and her sexuality in the time period where it was just becoming acceptable to do so.

Even though my mother accomplished many things by such a young age she also expressed the darker side of things. She wanted to break out into mainstream media, which she honestly thought was possible. Unfortunately her career outside of the adult film industry was minimal. My mother was in no way shape or form ashamed of the work she had done. She had fun and it was the 70s! She grew up and matured fast which Im so very proud of her for. She really was an amazing actress and talented in so many different ways. My mother could be having the worst day, sweating her butt off, but if someone wanted to take her picture, shed flash that sexy smile that we all know she had down perfectly. If she was busy or making dinner and the phone rang for a radio interview, shed put the dog in her lap, clear her throat and give the best damn interview anyone ever could. When I saw my mom incorporate two different lives, the life of Marilyn Chambers and the life of an amazing mother it amazed me. She was courageous and strong in everything that was thrown her way.

My mother had no regrets but she did tell me that if I made any move toward that industry shed kick my butt.

She was extremely protective of me and wanted to give me the best life she could offer, which she did without saying.

My mother is and always will be a legend.

After she opened that green door she showed people a world full of sexual expression and freedom that many people were too afraid to do on their own. I thank Marilyn Chambers for all that she has done for not just the adult film industry, but for the confidence she has instilled in the millions of people who are now proud of their sexual freedom. I thank Marilyn Taylor for the best 17 years of my life and for being the best mother I could have ever asked for. I will try my best to make her proud for the rest of the days of my life. I love you Mommy.

McKenna Taylor.

1. Behind the Green Door

The day Linda Lovelace walked out of Chuck Traynors life he walked into mine. Walked isnt the right word he called. I answered. We talked. And with that phone call began the transformation into what I am today, the Marilyn Chambers you know. I want this book to tell you everything about my life and my thoughts, especially about the Marilyn Chambers you dont know.

Yes, I was Marilyn Chambers at the time Chuck Traynor called me with the offer of becoming my personal manager, but I wasnt the person whos writing this book today. Sure, I was known. My face was on every box of Ivory Snow in every supermarket in the country, the 99 & 44/100% pure young mother. In every major city in the country (and some minor ones, wherever the local law would allow) for five dollars you could see me sucking a big black cock in Behind the Green Door, and squealing, Fuck me, Frank. Fuck me hard! in The Resurrection of Eve. Green Door stills of torso black evening gown, pearls around the neck, the Ivory Snow pose with a taste of sex traveled around on top of taxi cabs in Los Angeles and peered down over the throngs in New Yorks Times Square from a gigantic billboard. Marilyn Chambers, porno star and Ivory Soap girl, rah rah rah!
