ThePrivate Screenings films are, in a word, terrible. It’s a wonder Marilyn acquits herself so well in these lurid, dull, softcore tits-and-ass flicks. In fact Marilyn adds the only touch of class to the low-cost productions which are long on nudity and short on laughs. Surprisingly, the R-rated Private Screenings found a wide audience on cable TV stations like Cinemax and Showtime in the early ‘90s and in the home video market in the mid-to-late '90s. When Marilyn didn’t have one of the starring roles she would often do the wraparounds, introducing and closing the film. “A lot of you were unhappy when I did the softcore stuff,” she said on her 1999 disc Still Insatiable. “But, hey, it paid the bills.” Read more here.

My Therapist (1984) starring Marilyn Chambers
In 1982, Mel Goldberg adapted his stage play Sex Surrogate, a one-woman show in which Marilyn starred, for television. Inexplicably retitled Love Ya, Florence Nightingale, the cable TV series was Marilyn’s first and only foray into television. She played Kelly Carson, a sex surrogate who tries to help different male clients overcome their sexual hangups. She also has a boyfriend, played by David Winn, who is slightly embarrassed by her profession and tries not to feel jealous of her having sex with other men. Any other plot points would be pure speculation as the series has remained unavailable since it aired. Several of the episodes were edited together into a feature-length film and released to home video under the title My Therapist.
