Tera Patrick (born July 25, 1976) is the stage name of an American pornographic actress and model. Patrick is the Penthouse Pet of the Month for February 2000 and is an inductee for the AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame. In March 2002 she became the only woman ever to appear on the covers of Penthouse and Playboy simultaneously.

Early life

Tera Patrick was born Linda Ann Hopkins in Great Falls, Montana, and was raised near San Francisco. Next, she moved to New York City, where her career as a runway and catalog model began. At 18, she left the world of modeling and enrolled at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, from which she earned an A.A.S. degree in nursing and a B.S. in microbiology.

Career

Patrick started her adult career in 1999 and in 2003 became a contracted "Vivid Girl". She retired from shooting scenes in the Adult industry in 2008, but continues to operate her website, production company, and pursue other business ventures. She licenses her movie catalog worldwide.

Patrick has appeared in Playboy and Penthouse, where she was the "Pet of the Month" for February 2000 and was selected as "Pet of the Year" runner-up. In 2003, Patrick became the masthead publisher of Genesis.

In November 2006, Patrick starred in a Vivid/Teravision production titled "Tera Patrick's Fashion Underground" where she performed with Jean Val Jean and Tommy Gunn. In the same film her husband, under the name Spyder Jonez, performed with Lanny Barby. In an interview, Tera Patrick says she's OK with him doing scenes with other girls. The two made five movies for Vivid and ten for Teravision (with Seinfeld appearing under the name "Spyder Jonez"; he has also directed some features).

In an interview with the Adult Film Database in February 2007, Patrick stated she would only continue to work in front of the camera for two more years, but plans on releasing her starring adult titles over the next decade. The March 2007 DVD release 'inTERActive' set the record as the fastest selling Hustler release ever.

Pornographic actress Tera Patrick played herself in Ultor Exposed.

In April 2007, Patrick and her production company, Teravision INC, filed a lawsuit against Jenna Jameson and Playboy Enterprises (the new owners of Club Jenna) for failing to properly account for and pay royalties on money earned by Patrick's Web site clubtera.com.

In 2008, Patrick began hosting the Playboy TV erotic instructional show, School of Sex. She was also the host for 25th AVN Awards ceremony.

In January 2013 Patrick hosted the annual XBIZ Awards.

In August 2014, Patrick made her first celebrity appearance at the 14th edition of annual Fetish Con convention and trade show in Tampa, FL.

One of Patrick's earliest projects was the launch of an herbal product called Python for men and Naughty for women 2005.

Patrick's clothing lines include Mistress Couture and her T-shirt line with the TITS Brand. She also operates an EBay store as well as a 'Tera Patrick merchandise' store at AllThingsTera.net.

In 2006, Patrick and her then-husband, Evan Seinfeld, launched a talent agency representing models and actors. According to a quote on the agency's website, Patrick's goal "is to help girls (and guys) in the business to be treated with respect, and realize their true potential...." Additionally, she owns a production company called "Teravision," which along with Vivid Video released its first feature, "Desperate," starring Patrick and Seinfeld. In April 2006, it was announced that she would host the Exxxotica Miami convention.

In 2008 Patrick became one of the adult actresses to have a molded product from Interactive Life Forms, LLC, makers of Fleshlight brand products. In 2014 the company added two more designs based on Patrick.

Book

Patrick's memoir, Sinner Takes All, co-written by journalist and author Carrie Borzillo, was published by Penguin imprint Gotham Books on January 5, 2010. The book chronicles Patrick's path to stardom, along with various other life experiences she along the way. During the writing process, which she describes as "cathartic", Patrick discusses how she and her mother repaired their relationship, and how she addressed problems within her relationship with her former husband, Evan Seinfeld. Patrick commented, "I wanted the book to end happily. I knew there were problems with our marriage obviously, and the decision to leave him came about quite suddenly."
