This one time Ivory Soap box model starred in the X-rated film, Behind the Green Door. Who is it?

Marilyn Chambers became an unwitting symbol of changing cultural norms in the early 1970s, famously transitioning from a wholesome advertising icon to a star of the burgeoning adult film industry. Before her groundbreaking role, Chambers was known to American households as the fresh-faced model on the Ivory Snow soap box, often depicted holding a baby, embodying the product's slogan of "99 & 44/100% pure." This image of purity created a stark contrast with her later work, which would catapult her to an unexpected kind of fame.

Her starring role in the 1972 X-rated film, "Behind the Green Door," ignited a national scandal. The film, one of the first hardcore features to be widely released in the United States, gained immense notoriety when it was revealed that its lead actress was the very same "Ivory Snow girl." Procter & Gamble, the makers of Ivory Snow, quickly pulled products and advertising featuring Chambers from shelves, but the controversy inadvertently boosted the film's ticket sales and cemented Chambers's status as a cultural phenomenon.

This ironic juxtaposition of her innocent modeling past and her adult film debut made Marilyn Chambers one of the most recognizable figures of the "porno chic" era, a period when adult cinema briefly crossed into mainstream culture. She was a pioneering figure, becoming one of the first truly famous female adult film stars and influencing the industry for decades to come, even attempting a crossover into mainstream films later in her career.
