Tera is of mixed ancestry; her mother is Thai and her father has English, Dutch and Irish roots. Tera grew up with her hippie father, as her mother left when she was 10. When she was 12 she started taking weekend classes in modeling at the Barbizon School of Modeling, and two years later was hired by a Japanese modeling agency, which soon brought her to Japan. There, her career was off to a bad start; during one of the photoshoots, she lost her virginity to a photographer who drugged her with valium, and also made her drink large amounts of champagne. This led to her addiction on valium and alcohol as well, on which she spent her paychecks. Her father brought her back to the US, once he found out she was sexually active and in trouble. He complained also to her modelling agency, stating that she was underage, which certainly influenced her return to the US. Tera then studied nursing at Boise State University, and also received EMT certification from a vocational school.
Nevertheless, she started a career in the adult film industry in 1999. So far, she has appeared in more than 100 film titles, and earned several awards, including the AVN Award in category Best Tease Performance in the film “Island Fever” (2001), and AVN Award in category Best New Startlet, while also earned Hot d’Or Award in category Best American Actress for the film “Crossroads”, and many other awards.
In February 2000, she was the “Pet of the Month” for the magazine Penthouse, while she also appeared in Playboy the same year. She also has her own production company, Teravision INC, which she started with her now ex-husband Evan Seinfeld, also a pornographic actor.
Tera also made several appearances on television, including in such TV series as “Chelsea Lately” (2007), “Secret Lives of Women” (2008), and many others, which also improved her wealth.
Tera has also authored a book with help from writer and journalist Carrie Borzillo; entitled “Sinner Takes All”, released in 2010, and it follows her life, from hardships linked with her career beginnings to rise to stardom.
Regarding her personal life, she was married to Evan Senfeld from 2004 until 2009. Presently, she is in a relationship with Tony Acosta, with whom she has a daughter born in 2012.
