Aurora Snow (born November 26, 1981)[4] is the stage name of an American former pornographic actress and director.[5]

Early life

Snow was born and raised in Santa Maria, California, but also spent time in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[2] She is of Irish, Jewish, and Native American descent.[1] She was raised by a single mother and was the oldest of three siblings.[6] She began performing in community and regional theater at age 12.[2] At age 13, she started working as a cashier at a pizza parlor, where she was promoted to manager at age 15.[6] At age 17, Snow enrolled at the University of California, Irvine, where she also worked the information desk at one of its libraries.[6] She initially chose theatre as her major before changing it to business.[2] Later on, she took business law classes at Glendale Community College.[3]

Career

Pornography

Snow entered the adult entertainment industry in May 2000 after answering a nude modeling newspaper ad from World Modeling.[3] After doing three still shoots, she began performing in pornographic films.[2] She was 18 years old at the time.[2]

Despite her choice of career, she was initially very inexperienced sexually. She had performed in several smaller gonzo porn scenes and pro-am films featured online when she first started, but she has recently[when?] focused more on traditional, plot-based feature films. One of her first professionally made and distributed movies was titled More Dirty Debutantes 152, produced by Ed Powers.[2] Her stage name derives from her two favorite childhood fairy tale characters, Princess Aurora and Snow White.[4]

Snow was a contract performer and director for Sin City between May 2003 and May 2005.[7][8][9] She made her directorial debut for the company with the film Assploitations.[10]

Snow hosted Private Calls on Playboy TV.[11]

In 2008, Snow played Jan Brady in the spoof Not the Bradys XXX.

In 2009,[12] Snow's biography was released in comic book form by Carnal Comics in Aurora Snow: True Stories of Adult Film Stars.[13]

In July 2010, she reported on the obscenity case against John Stagliano for AVN.[14][15]

Snow left the adult film industry in 2011 and moved from Los Angeles to Macon, Missouri.[6] She spent over ten years in the industry, even though she initially planned on doing porn for only a year when she first started.[16] She also worked as a stripper and webcam model during her career.[17] Despite not using condoms during most of her scenes, she came out as one of the few performers in favor of the 2012 Measure B vote in Los Angeles, mandating the use of condoms for all adult movie scenes.[18]

Mainstream media

Snow appeared in a cameo in the Judd Apatow film Superbad.[19] She also made an uncredited masked cameo in the film The Rules of Attraction.[20]

On January 6, 2010, Snow appeared in an episode of 1000 Ways to Die titled "Death On Arrival" to discuss edible underwear during the "Way to Die #444: Deadliest Munch" segment of the episode.[21]

On March 12, 2013, Snow appeared on The Young Turks to discuss racism in pornography and the reasons why some Caucasian pornographic actresses refuse to do interracial sex scenes.[22]

Snow is currently a contributor for The Daily Beast and Glammonitor and usually writes articles about the porn industry and women's issues.[23][24]

On March 6, 2014 Snow spoke at Harvard Law School on the topic of "Sex, Drugs, and Rolling Dice: The Regulation of Vice."[25] On March 19, 2015 Snow spoke at the University of South Carolina School of Law on "Vice, Porn and American Culture."[26]

Personal life

On September 30, 2013, Snow posted an article on The Daily Beast titled "A Porn Star’s Letter to Her Unborn Son" in which she announced she was pregnant with her first child and stated how she would explain her choice to work in the adult film industry to her son once he is older.[27] The letter quickly went viral on the internet.[28][29][30][31] She gave birth to her son, Quentin, on December 10, 2013.[32] Snow announced her marriage on February 15, 2015.[33]
