...Green Door, one of the first, weirdest and most popular hard-core movies in that brief period of the '70s known as "porno chic." These two factettes, with their colliding irony, made the blond, willowy Chambers the pinup princess of XXX cinema, a notoriety she parlayed into a career in soft- and hard-core sex films that lasted from 1972 until ... yesterday...
...Chambers wasn't the first person to take the route from modeling and acting to hard-core, from commercials to pervertials. Eric Edwards, whose porn career spanned nearly four decades, had appeared in ads for Gillette razors and Close-Up toothpaste.

Perhaps her strangest career move came during the 2004 presidential election, when she ran as Vice President on the Personal Choice Party ticket; she received 946 votes...
...third set, Sacred Heart had no answer for Weissbourd, who served five straight times to give the Crimson a 13-5 lead. The 6’9 outside hitter put an exclamation mark on his storied Harvard career when his signature spike, always loaded with velocity, knocked down a Sacred Heart player to get the crowd roaring with approval.
