Teri Weigel
Teri Weigel is a former porn star and a centerfold model from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She began modeling while in her teens, appearing in the Saks Fifth Avenue catalog among other venues. Weigel appeared on the cover of the November 1985 issue of Playboy, and was the Playboy Playmate for April 1986. She subsequently had several minor roles in mainstream film. Weigel was in a car accident in August 1990, in which she suffered severe neck and back injuries that required five operations. Unable to work for four months due to her injuries, she and her husband were forced to sell their home and move into an apartment. During production on a nude video that was one of Weigel's last projects for Playboy, a co-worker suggested doing adult movies to earn money. Initially dismissive of the idea, Weigel eventually reconsidered. Her first film was Inferno in 1991, in which she costarred with Marc Wallice. After she became the first Playboy Playmate to cross over into porn, the publisher terminated its relationship with her, as Playmates who do porn are not allowed to represent the company. She also worked for a time at the Bunny Ranch Nevada brothel until September 1998.
