“[C]an we truly call this a monster club, if we do not boast amongst our membership a single member of the human race?”
---Vincent Price as vampire “Eramus” in The Monster Club (1981)
Ivory Snow cover “girl” (depicting hygienic motherhood). Groundbreaking porn star. “Body horror” actress. While each job might sound exclusive of the others, Marilyn Chambers (1952-2009), of Behind the Green Door fame/infamy, wore these hats and then some. The artistic American jill-of-all-trades crossed over from smut into the latter role through Canadian director David Cronenberg’s Rabid (1977), bringing her diverse professional experience to an arguably rich and deep character portrayal. For the record, this person, for one, has never watched any hardcore pornos, Green Door or no, but we could still say she was made for the part, given that the film’s premise oddly mirrors Chambers’ sharp career departure from an image of wholesome innocence.
