Anderson began her career as an adult entertainer in 2017 and quickly rose to stardom. Her internet fame soon followed after she went viral along with her close friend More. The two stars parted ways in 2021 leading their show into an indefinite hiatus and tragically the dream of fans to once again see them together will no longer be possible.
In the later years of her life, Anderson appeared on many shows and podcasts to talk about her life and career. She also participated in the s*x education show alongside William Belli and various other drag queens and guests.

RIP Sophie Anderson. One thing many might not know is Sophie was an advocate for us indie artists and small creators within the art scene and always made an effort to support us. Much more than a ‘meme’. An icon for the girls and the gays 🫶 pic.twitter.com/GXQJVV81lo

However, she is especially remembered for her kind-hearted personality and supportive nature. Anderson inspired and encouraged many indie stars and small creators in the art scene. She also participated in charities supporting the LGBTQ+ community and provided a platform for indie stars.
Last but not least, she tirelessly worked to destigmatize adult entertainers by bringing them under the spotlight with her joyous, kind, and funny personality.
