The clash between her two public personas created a cultural firestorm in the early 1970s. At the time, she was the face of domestic wholesomeness, appearing on boxes of Ivory Snow laundry detergent holding a cherubic baby. This image perfectly aligned with the parent company's famous "99 and 44/100% Pure" slogan, making her a symbol of clean, family-friendly living.

That image was shattered in 1972 with the release of the groundbreaking X-rated film, *Behind the Green Door*. When it was revealed that the star of this explicit movie was the very same Ivory Snow model, the public was stunned. The film was a massive crossover success during the era known as "porno chic," and the scandal only amplified its notoriety.

The manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, was horrified by the association and promptly recalled all packaging featuring her likeness. While the incident abruptly ended her mainstream modeling career, the controversy launched her into a new stratosphere of fame. She became one of the most famous and recognizable stars of the adult film industry, a status she held for many years.
