Tera Patrick
Career
Born Linda Ann Hopkins, Patrick worked as a teenage mainstream model before entering the industry in 1999. She was a Penthouse Pet of the Month by February 2000 and won Best New Starlet at both AVN and XRCO the following year. In 2006 she and then-husband Evan Seinfeld launched a talent agency and her own production label, Teravision, and she retired from on-camera performing in 2008 while continuing to host, produce and license her back catalogue.
Signature: Held the Penthouse Pet title before she had a single AVN win, then spent the 2000s converting that into a genuine crossover career — a talent agency, a production company, a memoir, television hosting — that XBIZ recognised directly with its Crossover Star of the Year title in 2009.
