Tera Patrick is an American-born Penthouse model, pornographic actress, model, writer, and businesswoman. She was born Linda Ann Hopkins on July 25, 1976 in Great Falls, Montana, United States. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Brooke Thomas, Linda Hopkins, Linda Shapiro, Sadie Jordan, Sara Jordan or Tara Patrick, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.
Tera Patrick was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in February 2000, stepping into the spotlight at 23 years old. Her measurements are 36-24-38. Tera Patrick has charming brown eyes, rich brown hair, and enhanced breasts.
Tera Patrick arrived as a fully formed icon. Tall, statuesque, and strikingly exotic, she brought high-fashion polish to Penthouse at the dawn of a new era — a moment when glamour, intelligence, and entrepreneurial ambition began to intersect more openly.
Born to a Thai mother and an American father of English and Dutch descent, Tera was raised in San Francisco and discovered early. At just thirteen, she was signed by the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency, spending five years working internationally in high fashion. Unlike many of her peers, she stepped away from modeling at eighteen to pursue academics, earning a degree in microbiology and working as a nurse — a detour that only sharpened her sense of independence.
By the late 1990s, curiosity drew her back toward the camera, and her transition into adult entertainment was swift and transformative. Tera’s presence was immediate: confident, composed, and unmistakably engaged. Her February 2000 Penthouse pictorial captured a woman entirely in command of her image — refined rather than manufactured, sensual without artifice. Readers responded instantly, and she was later named Pet of the Year runner-up, confirming her crossover appeal.
What followed was unprecedented. Tera became not just a top performer, but a power figure — founding her own production company, Teravision, negotiating landmark contracts, and asserting creative control at a time when few women did. Her influence extended across media, from film and television hosting to publishing, including a stint as masthead publisher of Genesis. Industry recognition followed in force, with Hall of Fame inductions and major awards across every leading institution.
Though she retired from performing in 2008, Tera Patrick’s legacy endures. She remains a defining figure of Penthouse’s modern history — a woman who fused beauty with intellect, glamour with strategy, and presence with power.
