I recently joined Cinema Chat to talk about #PURE, my biography of the iconic (and iconoclastic) #MarilynChambers. 💋 We dove into the wild world of adult cinema, disco-era stardom, and the woman who shocked America from Ivory Snow to Behind the Green Door. www.buzzsprout.com/1726501/epis... #FilmSky
