Aurora Snow
Aurora Snow (born November 26, 1981)Template:R is an American writer[1] and former pornographic actress[2] and director.[3][4][5]
Early life
Snow was born and raised in Santa Maria, California but also spent time in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[6] She was raised by a single mother and was the oldest of three siblings.[7] She began performing in community and regional theater at age 12.[6] She was on the honor roll in high school.[6] At age 17, Snow enrolled at the University of California, Irvine.[6] She initially chose theatre as her major before changing to business.[6]
Career
Adult films
Snow entered the pornographic entertainment industry in May 2000 after answering a nude modeling newspaper ad.[6][8] She was 18 years old at the time.[6][5] One of her first professionally made and distributed movies was More Dirty Debutantes 152, produced by Ed Powers.[6][5] Her stage name derives from her two favorite childhood fairy tale characters, Princess Aurora and Snow White.[2] She became known outside of the genre's amateurs circles for her signature "duck quacking", a peculiar sound evoking a duck's quack emitted during a deep-throat fellatio, which has been sampled by Howard Stern and used as a sound effect in his radio shows.[9][10]
Snow was a contract performer and director for Sin City between May 2003 and May 2005.[11][12][13] She made her directorial debut for the company with the film Assploitations.[5][14] Snow hosted Private Calls on Playboy TV.[15]
In July 2010, she reported on the obscenity case against John Stagliano for AVN.[16][17]
Snow left the pornographic film industry in 2011 and moved from Los Angeles to Macon, Missouri.[7] She spent over ten years in the industry, even though she initially planned on doing porn for only a year when she first started.[18] She has 788 credits as a performer (including compilations) and 14 as a director.[19] She also worked as a stripper[2] and webcam model during her career.[8] 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 pornographic movie scenes.[20]
Mainstream media appearances
Snow appeared in the 2002 feature film The Rules of Attraction as Masked Naked Girl at Party.

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.[23]
Snow is currently a contributor for The Daily Beast[5] (since 2010)[8] and Glammonitor and usually writes articles about the porn industry and women's issues.[24][25]
On March 6, 2014, Snow spoke at Harvard Law School[5] on the topic of "Sex, Drugs, and Rolling Dice: The Regulation of Vice."[26] On March 19, 2015, Snow spoke at the University of South Carolina School of Law on "Vice, Porn and American Culture."[27]
Personal life
