Born Linda Ann Hopkins in Great Falls, Montana in 1976, Tera Patrick is one of the world's best known porn stars. She has appeared in over 96 films, has her own talent agency and won numerous awards. Her exotic look is the result of being half Thai and half English Jew. Her parents met during the Vietnam War. Tera was raised by her father in San Francisco after her mother moved back to Thailand when she was young.
Tera began her career as a runway and print model after being discovered at age 13 by a talent scout on the streets of San Francisco. At age 18 she abandoned her career and earned a B.S. in Microbiology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. It wasn't until the late 1990's that she segwayed into pornography.
In 2004 she married fellow porn star and Biohazard rocker Evan Seinfeld. Tera and Evan often perform together, though they still perform with other partners. Tera says "When I work with other guys, Evan has to direct the scenes. When he works with other girls, I get to go out shopping". Sounds like a good deal.
Tera is best know for her sexy, sultry voice, her exotic look and for using "tera" in the title of her movies, such as InTERActive, Teradise Island and Reign of Tera.
