Marilyn A. Chielens

Marilyn started Cottonwood Productions and its subsequent distribution leg, Masterpiece Home Video in the early 80's. Based in the San Fernando Valley, Cottonwood and Masterpiece changed the game for The Adult Film Industry. Her female touch added romance and love to an all pervasive male dominated industry. The films The Passion Within, Trashy Lady, and Ladies In Lace set a new standard for adult films, and garnered a slew of awards and accolades. She left the industry in 1987 and ran her family owned Cameo Film Library with her post production parents. Marilyn is survived by her son David DeSantos.
