Tera Patrick's physical attributes, including her towering height of 5'9" and striking exotic appearance, are reminiscent of a high-fashion model. In fact, she spent five years as a model with the renowned Ford Agency, showcasing her stunning physique to the world. Born in Montana, Patrick's family relocated to San Francisco shortly after her birth, where she was raised by her father following her mother's departure to Thailand.
At the tender age of 13, Patrick's modeling career took off when she was spotted by a talent scout from Morning Sun, an international division of the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency. She went on to sign a contract with the agency and spent the next five years honing her craft, gracing the runways and magazine covers with her captivating presence.
After quitting modeling at the age of 18, Patrick pursued a degree in microbiology, only to find employment as a nurse. However, her curiosity about nude modeling eventually got the better of her, and she began appearing in men's magazines. By 1999, she had made the transition to mainstream porn, and her meteoric rise to the top was cemented.
Patrick's smoldering looks, mind-boggling physique, and enthusiastic performances quickly made her a fan favorite, as she offered a departure from the typical bored, silicone-inflated porn queens. In her personal life, she married actor Evan Seinfeld and was preparing to leave the adult-film industry, but instead, she successfully broke free from her contract with Digital Playground and launched her own production company, Teravision Inc.
Patrick's bold move was met with both excitement and disappointment from her fans, as she signed a contract with Vivid Video, agreeing to work only with her husband and other women. Although this news may have been a shock to some, it is undeniable that a little Tera Patrick is still far better than no Tera Patrick at all.
