Behind the Green Door (1972) was one of the first American pornographic films to feature interracial sex between a white actress, Marilyn Chambers (1952-2009), & a black actor, Johnnie Keyes (1940-2018).
But what made the film notorious was prior to the movie& #39;s release Chambers modelled for Ivory Soap & was known as the wholesome "Ivory soap girl". The brand& #39;s slogan was "99 and 44/100% pure". All Ivory Snow products & advertising featuring her were immediately recalled
The movie producers quickly capitalised on the scandal by advertising Chambers as "99 and 44/100& #39;s % impure". Procter & Gamble subsequently required thorough screening of the background of any female model employed for print advertisements or commercials.
