And though these birthdays do not fall in the heralded time of the Aries (we’re gonna rule the world someday), Taurus isn’t so bad either. Enjoy.

Everyone in the industry, smut peddlers and fans alike know the legendary story. Marilyn became the spokesperson and box-cover girl for Procter & Gamble’s laundry detergent; Ivory Snow, a HUGE brand in America’s white bread utopia. Her squeaky clean, girl-next-door image was seen on supermarket shelves, tv commercials, newspaper ads and store windows. Then in 1972 Marilyn landed the starring role in “Behind the Green Door,” a X rated feature with wide theatrical release that captivated the world. The detergent marketing blitz and movie nearly hit our consciousness at the same time, marking one of the greatest dualities in pop culture history. Not to mention quite the conundrum for Proctor & Gamble.

I actually remember her more for scaring the living shit out of me in “Rabid,” David Cronenberg’s 1977 horror masterpiece about a woman (Chambers) who, after surviving a car crash that requires a new kind of plastic surgery, suddenly craves human blood from unsuspecting suiters…i mean…victims, and gets it from a weird little spikey-tonguey thing that shoots out of her armpit during a close embrace. This, like most bizarre and unexplainable phenomenon, leads to zombie-ism across the country.

Chambers, whose real name was Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found unresponsive at 8:51 p.m. at her residence in the 16000 block of Vasquez Canyon, Los Angeles, on April 12th 2009. The cause of death were the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage and aneurysm related to heart disease. She was 56.

The 2000 SHOWTIME attempt-at-a-movie “Rated X,” featuring brothers Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen documents the “Behind the Green Door” period with actress Tracy Hutson taking on the role of Marilyn Chambers. But if you want to pay tribute justly, give her due diligence by checking out any one of her 36 hardcore titles.

And stay away from chicks with weird armpits.

At approximately 8:20 pm this past New Years Eve, Jensen was apparently driving near her Panama City Beach, Florida home, when she was struck by an off duty police officer in his 2001 Hyundai. She was killed instantly.

According to the Internet Adult Film Database she appeared in 310 films over her 26 year career, performing one last time in 2000 with Marilyn Chambers in “Dark Chambers.” Oddly enough, the same database has yet to learn of her death (not that I’m too quick to the scene either).

Old porn enthusiasts share stories of her open enthusiasm for women and psychedelics. She was also well known for her talented double-anal and double-penetration abilities. While researching this story I found that amongst our millions of free sex videos, I cannot locate a single Erica Boyer clip. Shame on us!

She is survived by one son.
