Teri Weigel was destined for fame. How she achieved that goal is a remarkable story.
The third of five children, Teri was raised within a devoutly Catholic family in the conservative city of Deerfield Beach,
Florida. A natural beauty, she began modeling in her teens,
appearing in catalogs for Saks Fifth Avenue and other
high-end companies. She later moved to New York and signed
with a major modeling agency, which placed her in "Seventeen" magazine and other publications. Modeling gigs in Europe
followed. Upon her return to Florida, Teri entered her first
beauty contest and was named Miss Deerfield in 1979.

As a result of Teri's lingerie work for Saks and others,
Playboy Magazine soon came calling. She did some test shots
for the magazine, and was asked to become a Centerfold. Teri
graced the cover of the November '85 issue, and appeared as
the Centerfold in April 1986. Teri found posing nude
liberating, and she enjoyed the fame and money that came with being a Playboy Centerfold.

Teri worked for Playboy for a couple of years, producing
several well-received videos. But company gigs eventually
became fewer and fewer. Worse, Playboy refused to help
promote her mainstream television and film work, which ranged from multiple appearances on Fox's "Married With Children" to roles in "Predator 2", "Sacrifice" with Al Pacino, "Marked
for Death" with Steven Seagall, "Sunset" with Bruce Willis
and James Garner, and cult genre flicks such as "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies" with Karen Black, "Cheerleader Camp" and John
Landis's "Innocent Blood".
