Born in Montana July 1976, Tera's Thai mom split when she was tiny, leaving her dad to raise her in San Francisco. Those exotic looks helped Ford Modeling snag her at 13. She stuck around five years, then bailed at 18 to finish school, earning a microbiology degree and working as a nurse. Turns out the whole clothes-off thing wasn't out of her system. Men's mags came calling. By '99 she'd had enough of holding back and took the plunge into porn, starting with some B&D flicks before the hardcore stuff. Andrew Blake's soft-core Aroused marked her first film, then Fire & Ice handed her that first boy-girl scene. At 5'9" with a 36DD-24-34 build, she was exactly what the industry was hungry for, and soon she was flying all over the globe for shoots. Awards followed fast, including a Hot d'Or in Cannes for Best New American Starlet, plus AVN and XRCO honors that still top her growing shelf.
