Tera Patrick

Bio

Tera Patrick became a Vivid Girl in December 2003. A former international fashion model of both Thai and English descent with classic Eurasian bone structure and a sultry voice, Ms. Patrick began her journey in adult entertainment in 1999. She has won numerous honors for her film work including the AVN Award for Best New Starlet in 2000 and the Hot d' Or Award for "The Best New American Starlet" at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. She has also hosted the popular “Nightcalls 411” program for Playboy Television and has appeared in dozens of mainstream entertainment shows. Along with her husband, the rock ‘n’ roll star Evan Seinfeld of Biohazard, she operates TeraVision, a production company that makes adult films in cooperation with Vivid.

Ms. Patrick spent her early years in San Francisco. She studied nursing and once considered going to medical school. Instead, she had early success in magazine modeling before becoming an instant sensation after being featured as a Penthouse Pet in a photo shoot released in February 2000.

In March 2002 she became the only woman ever to appear on the covers of Penthouse and Playboy simultaneously. Ms. Patrick began acting in adult movies because "it turned me on to think I would be having sex and a lot of men would be watching me. I like a man who is aggressive. I am very submissive when it comes to satisfying men's desires. I like a guy who knows how to have really hard sex, but then knows how to make love also." – Courtesy of Vivid Entertainment
