All about "Porn Star" Tera Patrick

Tera Patrick is Linda Ann Hopkins from Great Falls, Montana, USA.

Those of you who live in Great Falls, Montana, well, you’re in luck cowboy! You just might take a glimpse of this lovely being gracing the busy streets of Great Falls. Who knows she might be in front of you while on the grocery line – well, I went too far there. This gal is a millionaire and she might have someone to do the grocery shopping, nonetheless, Tera Patrick is a native of Great Falls.
Her real name is Linda Ann Hopkins and she was born July 25 of ’76. Yes, she is forty and still full of life and sexiness! Amazing! Her mother is a local from Thailand and she got her good looks from her – exquisite and elegant. Tera’s dad, on the other hand, is English with some Dutch and Irish descent. All that good blood mixed together, we have Linda Ann Hopkins, or more commonly known as Tera Patrick.
When beauty and brains collide, we have Tera Patrick making millions

I did mention previously that Tera Patrick is a millionaire. It was rumored that the Thai beauty has a net worth of $15M and all of that through her HARD WORK! (Oh, don’t get all dirty minded man!) Tera has more than a hundred adult films under her belt but it’s not really the money maker. One can only make so much per adult film – the rate for the superstars like Tera is per scene and priced at $2,000 to $6,000. The industry is glamorous and all but the actors don’t earn that much.
So, how did this beauty strive to get her $15M? Well, Tera is not some dumb porn star. She acted in adult films and was a model too. (FHM model many times!) Aside from that, Tera has other successful business ventures. She is far from just a pretty face – Tera studied MicroBiology at Boise State University. Whoa! Yes, pick up your chin and close your mouth now. She is not a woman to be messed with, you know.
Tera Patrick and her businesses

Tera also used her popularity to her advantage and set up some businesses like her production company called Teravision INC. Her first feature was a collaboration with VIVID and Tera starred the film together with Evan titled, Desperate. She also launched and sold herbal products called Python for Men and Naughty for Women.
If you hear about Mistress Couture clothing line, that’s hers too and also the TITS t-shirt brand. Evan and Tera opened a modeling agency – The Tera Patrick Agency – to help new models get legit modeling jobs and keep them away from the pervs who will just use them in the modeling world. Tera was a victim of that when she was younger.
She also has an EBay store called Tera Patrick merchandise and her public appearances cost something too, which adds to her worth. Tera even has a memoir published titled “Sinner Takes All”. It detailed her personal relationship with her mother in Thailand and Evan Seinfeld, her ex-husband who also happens to be a porn film actor. They still maintain a good, civil and working relationship, though.
Tera Patrick, the Porn Goddess, was victimized while she was modeling???

Well, Tera wouldn’t call it that way. This is how the real story goes.
When Tera’s mom left her and her dad, she pretty much was able to do whatever she wanted since her dad was a carefree person and he wanted Tera to experience the world. He was there to guide her though whenever necessary. So at age 12, she was enrolled in the Barbizon School of Modeling and shortly after, she was discovered walking along one of the wharfs in SanFran and started some small gigs.
At 14, a modeling agency in Japan hired her and to make the story short, a photographer took advantage of Tera while in one of her photo shoots. She was so young then and still a virgin. The photographer gave her champagne and Valium, a drunken combination, and she experienced her first “dirty deed” with him. And that was it!
What happened in Tokyo, Japan stays in Tokyo, Japan – Tera moves on from her “rape” experience.

When Tera’s dad learned of what happened to her “rape” after two years, he immediately communicated with the agency in Tokyo. All the while, after that incident, Tera became addicted to Valium and she also slept around a bit with whoever she wanted to. You can say that Tera had it bad in Tokyo but at a very young age, there was no one to watch over her. Her dad was so far away and her mom was estranged. How will a 14-year-old girl survive the dirty world of modeling without guidance? Now, you understand.
She was sent back to the states after that complaint from her dad and it was the best thing that ever happened to her because it made Tera who she is today.
Tera Patrick and her school background

As I have already mentioned, Tera went into Barbizon School of Modeling for two years. After her stint in Japan, she went back home and tried the regular life. Tera was 16 at that time and she managed to better herself.
When she reached 18, Tera was able to achieve General Educational Development or GED. (For those who don’t know this, it is a series of tests which proves that the person taking it has high school level academic skills.) It’s like a ladder program and because she is brainy, she didn’t have to go back to high school. In fact, after her GED, Tera went to Boise for her MicroBiology course while managing to finish an EMT certification with flying colors. Briefly, after her regular schooling, Tera became a registered nurse with a degree in MicroBiology.
Linda Ann Hopkins (Tera Patrick) had a lot of names and aliases.

From Linda Ann Hopkins, she was transformed to play Tera Patrick, Linda Shapiro, Tara Patrick, Brooke Thomas, Sadie Jordan, Sara Jordan, Tera Hopkins – until she settled with Tera Patrick. A lot of names indeed! But the alias “Tera Patrick” was the charm!
Her physical stats and more. How was Tera Patrick molded?

Tera is 5 feet and 9 inches tall – this can be attributed to her father’s genes because most Thai women are petite. At that frame, Tera weighed 132 lbs and that is a healthy range which makes her look curvy. Not the curvy plus size which is also sexy but the curvy and lean type of woman, as you can see. She is gorgeous!
She has long, black Asian hair with dark brown eyes, typical of women from Thailand. Her body measurement in inches is 36-28-36, just perfect with an E cup size. Wow! When asked what her dress size is, many were stunned of the fact that she was a size 6. Women thought she would be a dress smaller but no, Tera wanted to wear clothes that fit her curvy physique even if it meant a larger size. Her shoe size is a 9US and even if her parents are not from America, she is an American citizen and proud of it!
How Tera Patrick got into the Porn Life

Tera tried the school thing because she had the brains for it and became a professional nurse. She worked for some years practicing her medical profession while modeling on the side. Tera appeared in several men’s magazines. But sometime at the age of 22 or 23, she had an epiphany. Tera was drawn to the world of Pornography and their nude artistry.
She did her modeling too so that she can have money for daily use and school, of course. But when she got her degree and all, Tera couldn’t shake the fact that even if she was stripping for money (nude photos), she loved doing it. She met Suze Randall – photographer, pornographer and actress. This meeting with Suze led her to doing a soft-core porn movie with director, Andrew Blake.
When Tera Patrick started porn acting

It was 1999 when she started with porn acting and in three years, Vivid Entertainment gave her a generous work contract. Aside from that, Playboy loved Tera and made her a model cover in 2000. I mean, look at her! She is oozing with sex appeal.
Penthouse didn’t miss their chance with her, too. Simultaneously, Tera was the cover of Playboy and Penthouse, as well. Penthouse gave her the “Pet of the Month” honor in February 2000 and “Pet of the Year” runner up in 2003.
Tera Patrick – Films, shows and more

If you go to her site, you will discover that movies featuring Tera are licensed for her fans and soon to be fans pleasure. Add this to her earnings each year, no wonder Tera is a multi-millionaire. Anyway, she has made 150 movies for adult entertainment but she also appeared in Hollywood films and starred in a Thai blockbuster movie. Tera was also featured in some late night shows and cameo roles in TV shows. Even if she was a porn actress, Tera loved to act.
She became Best Actress for her portrayal on the adult film “Forbideen Tales”. Venus Awards gave her that prestige in 2002.
Tera Patrick has 19 awards from her porn movies

Even after her retirement in the porn industry in 2008, Tera was still receiving various porn-related awards. But to start from the beginning, her first award was Best American Starlet from Hot d’Or Award in 2000. After that, she was named Best New Starlet by every porn film awarding body – AVN, NightMoves and XRCO in 2001. AVN is the “Oscar’s” of porn, by the way.
She also received awards like American Best Actress, Favorite Female Starlet, Crossover Female Performer of the Year, Successful Performing Businesswoman of the Year (USA), ASACP Service Recognition Award, Favorite Star Website and Hall of Fame inductee. XBIZ, AVN, XRCO, FAME, NightMoves, Eroticline, Adam Film World Guide, FOXE, Venus, and Hot d’Or gave her these distinguished awards.
Tera Patrick and Evan Seinfeld, it was good while it lasted

Tera Patrick married another porn actor and musician named Evan Seinfeld. He has been mentioned all throughout this article. Anyway, they jumped to Vegas in January 2004 and tied the knot. Tera wanted to quit the porn acting back then but they had to continue with their production company business. Her retirement was delayed for four years.
It came as quite a shock for a lot of fans and colleagues when the pair announced their divorce in 2009. The two still remain friends to this day and as immortalized in Tera’s book, Sinner Takes All, she wanted everyone to know that for that brief moment, she valued and loved Evan with all her heart. Sometimes, people mature and want different things and that lead to their eventual splitting.
Tera Patrick and her private love life now

Looking at her gracious body, who would think that Tera is a mommy, right? Well, she is a mommy of a 5-year-old cute angel and the father is her partner, Tony Acosta. Tony is an in-demand special effects artist who had a hand in movies like 300, Man of Steel (Superman) and Dawn of the Dead. He is not into taking pictures so much, in fact, if you search his name in Google, you won’t find anything about him! Mysterious or private – I think they just want to keep their love life below radar.
Tera Patrick, still HOT in 2017

Tera is almost 10 years out of the porn acting business but her name remains strong in the porn world. For those who love to watch “vintage” porn movies, they can see Tera in “action” while in her twenties. You can also view her Teravision produced films – some of which star Tera and Seinfeld when she they were still active.
Right now, she is solely managing her Tera group of businesses – the production company which she now solely owns, the Tera adult website and all her online retail businesses. You can even talk to her through her official website and she replies, too.
