Aurora Snow (born November 26, 1981) is the stage name of an American former pornographic actress[2] and director.[1][4]

Early life

Snow was born and raised in Santa Maria, California but also spent time in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[3] She was raised by a single mother and was the oldest of three siblings.[5] She began performing in community and regional theater at age 12.[3] She was on the honor roll in high school.[3] At age 17, Snow enrolled at the University of California, Irvine.[3] She initially chose theatre as her major before changing it to business.[3]

Career

Pornography

Snow entered the adult entertainment industry in May 2000 after answering a nude modeling newspaper ad.[3][6] She was 18 years old at the time.[3] One of her first professionally made and distributed movies was titled More Dirty Debutantes 152, produced by Ed Powers.[3] Her stage name derives from her two favorite childhood fairy tale characters, Princess Aurora and Snow White.[2]

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 July 2010, she reported on the obscenity case against John Stagliano for AVN.[12][13]

Snow left the adult film industry in 2011 and moved from Los Angeles to Macon, Missouri.[5] She spent over ten years in the industry, even though she initially planned on doing porn for only a year when she first started.[14] She also worked as a stripper[2] and webcam model during her career.[6] 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.[15]

Mainstream media

Snow appeared in a cameo in the Judd Apatow film Superbad.[16] 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.[17]

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.[18]

Snow is currently a contributor for The Daily Beast (since 2010)[6] and Glammonitor and usually writes articles about the porn industry and women's issues.[19][20]

On March 6, 2014 Snow spoke at Harvard Law School on the topic of "Sex, Drugs, and Rolling Dice: The Regulation of Vice."[21] On March 19, 2015 Snow spoke at the University of South Carolina School of Law on "Vice, Porn and American Culture."[22]
