Aurora Snow

Director & actor · born 26 November 1981 · Santa Maria, California, USA

Snow was born and raised in Santa Maria, California, but also spent time in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She started acting at the age of 12, performing in local community and regional theater. Snow entered college at the University of California, Irvine. After her first year of college, she answered an employment advertisement for nude modeling. From there she moved on to pornography. She continued her education but changed her major to business.

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 eventually focused more on traditional, plot-based feature films. Her stage name derives from her two favorite childhood fairy tale characters, Princess Aurora and Snow White. Snow was a contract performer and director for Sin City between May 2003 and May 2005. She made her directorial debut for the company with the film Assploitations.
