About Tera Patrick

Tera Patrick, born Linda Ann Hopkins on July 25, 1976, in Great Falls, Montana, grew up in a military family, frequently relocating due to her father’s U.S. Army service. Raised primarily in San Francisco, California, by her British father and Thai mother, she is of mixed Caucasian and Thai ethnicity. Her early life included a stint in Tokyo, where she attended an international school, and she began modeling at 13 after being scouted by Ford Models in New York. She later studied microbiology at Boise State University and earned a nursing certification, working briefly as a nurse before returning to modeling.

Her entry into adult content began in 1999 at age 22, after a Penthouse shoot led to her debut in hardcore films. She adopted aliases like Tara Patrick, Tera Hopkins, Brooke, and Sadie Jordan, as noted on IMDb and IAFD. She worked with major studios including Vivid, Digital Playground, Evil Angel, Hustler, Brazzers, Adam & Eve, Wicked Pictures, and her own production company, Teravision. Her filmography exceeds 100 titles, including Island Fever (2001), Reign of Tera (2005), Tera Goes Wild (2006), and Tera Patrick’s Anal Extravaganza. She is best known for solo, girl/girl, and heterosexual scenes, with standout titles like Tera Tera Tera (2004) and Collision Course (2008), often tagged for big tits, blowjob, and anal content. Notable collaborations include performers like Evan Stone, Lexington Steele, Jenna Jameson, and Briana Banks. She won multiple awards, including AVN Best New Starlet (2000), XRCO Best New Starlet (2000), AVN Best Actress for Island Fever (2002), and NightMoves Fan Choice Best Female Performer (2005), with nominations for over 20 AVN, XBIZ, and F.A.M.E. awards.

Her subscription platforms include OnlyFans (@terapatrick), launched in 2020, offering explicit photos, videos, and fan interactions, and a premium Snapchat for exclusive content. Her social media presence is strong, with 1 million Instagram followers (@terapatric), 500,000 Twitter followers (@TERA1PATRICK), and a TikTok account, sharing modeling, fitness, and lifestyle posts. She co-hosted The Tera Patrick Show on Playboy Radio (2005–2010) and appeared on Chelsea Lately, Last Call with Carson Daly, and reality shows like Secret Lives of Women.

Physically, Tera stands at 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm), weighs approximately 140 lbs (65 kg), and has measurements of 36DD-24-36 inches, with surgically enhanced breasts, as confirmed in a 2008 AVN interview. She has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a curvy, athletic build. She has a dragon tattoo on her lower back and piercings in her navel and ears. No additional surgeries on her lips, nose, or other areas are documented. Public comments on Babepedia and X praise her “legendary” breasts, “exotic” Thai features, and “sultry” expressions, with men finding her “hourglass” figure, long legs, and confident performances sexy. Her Thai heritage, commanding presence, and production company ownership make her unique. She is most known for anal and blowjob scenes, often with an intense, dominant style.

Tera identifies as bisexual, as stated in a 2010 Fleshbot interview, enjoying both men and women in her personal and professional life. Although her first time even kissing another woman was in porn. She was married to musician Tony Acosta from 2004 to 2009 and dated actor Vin Diesel in 2000; she is currently single with one daughter, born in 2012. Controversies include a 2009 legal dispute with Teravision over contract issues and fan criticism in 2021 over high OnlyFans pricing, though she addressed concerns by offering discounts. Her net worth is estimated at $10–15 million, derived from adult films, OnlyFans, book sales (Sinner Takes All, 2010), and endorsements.

As of June 2025, Tera, aged 48, is based in Los Angeles, continuing her work as an adult content creator, model, and entrepreneur. She remains active on OnlyFans, producing new content, and engages in feature dancing, with recent X posts promoting appearances at Exposé in San Diego and a memoir sequel. Her Instagram, Twitter, and OnlyFans provide the latest updates.
