MARILYN CHAMBERS (in memoriam) As part of David Bertolino's research, he had extensive conversations with Marilyn Chambers regarding the composite character of Shana Babcock. He was thrilled that she was willing to accept the part and join the stage production.

Marilyn's wish has come true, appearing nightly in The Deep Throat Sex Scandal.
