1. Say it aint so

What a major drag. She was such a part of my boyhood/manhood transition.

May she and her man hole size back door rest in peace.

5. Well put, so to speak.

10. It was an Oscar worthy performance

The way she was grinding her teeth together with the sweat pouring down her forehead would make anyone believe she truly was suffering discomfort and not just acting.:P

6. Wrong. She was a porn star first

and was Ivory embarassed when they realized their cover gal was a former star in many x-rated films! I think it was when she starred in the more publicized "Green Door" that someone finally made the connection. They then replaced her with an artist's rendition of a mousey looking brown-haired gal. Wish I'd kept some of the old detergent boxes. They'd be worth $$ now.

7. I'd like to put up an 'as she would like to be remembered' photo

but I don't want my post to be deleted.

9. Behind the Green Door was my first porn movie

Thanks Marilyn, you don't know me, but I will never forget you. RIP

11. Wow. That's really young.

At least she got to see her daughter grow up to be a young adult. Peace to the family.
