Marilyn arrives in London for the premiere of her one-woman show Sex Confessions, 1979. The stage show was first performed under its original title Sex Surrogate in Las Vegas that same year. Read about it here.
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.
