The fourth child of her British and French parents, Aurora was born Rebecca Claire Kensington on November 26, 1981 in Montpelier, Vermont. When Rebecca was a toddler, her parents divorced. Her mother remarried and Rebecca's new stepfather, Raymond Nordell, relocated the family to Nottingham, England, where they had four more children. Rebecca became obsessed with Sleeping Beauty (1959), and especially, the main character, Princess Aurora. Rebecca developed a keen interest in ballet and the performing arts as a preteen. After graduating from high school at sixteen, Rebecca moved to New York, changed her name to Aurora and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She dropped out after attending for only one year and moved to Los Angeles to become a model/actress. When she couldn't jump-start her acting or modeling career, her agent suggested she get into porn. At first it was frightening for young Aurora. Homeless and desperate, she finally agreed to do a nude modeling shoot for "Hustler" after a long telephone conversation and consolation with porn queen Jenna Jameson. Currently, Aurora has starred in 60 feature films with an extensive contract with Sin City Entertainment.
