The third of five children, Teri Weigel (Picture: 1 - 2 - 3) was raised devoutly Catholic in the conservative town of Deerfield Beach, Florida. She began modeling in her teens and later moved to New York and signed with a major agency, which placed her in numerous mainstream publications, including Seventeen magazine and other such publications and catalogs.
Fashion gigs in Europe followed and pretty soon Playboy came sniffing around Teri's ass. Before long she was a centerfold and graced the cover of the November 1986 issue.
Teri's well received stint at Playboy lasted for a couple of years, producing several popular videos. Then after several big- and small-screen appearances on Married with Children and in the Hollywood films Predator 2 (1990) and Innocent Blood (1992), Weigel did a hardcore fuck film, something that no other Playmate had ever done.
To date, Teri has appeared in more than fifty adult videos, twenty music videos, and numerous porn magazine pictorials. She has also proven to be a top-drawing headliner on the national stripping circuit, and she's participated in a number of porn-themed Internet ventures, including "Sex Survivor 2000," in which several porn performers were placed in a house and encouraged to have as much sex as possible.
It was a joy to speak with this beautiful woman.

Do you recall the first time you saw nudity in a movie?
No, not really. I guess when I went to the drive-in movies with my first boyfriend I would have to say.
Do you have a favorite love scene in a mainstream picture?
After the love scene in Troy (Picture: 1), I attacked my husband.
Who would you say is your favorite sex symbol of all time?
Let's just say for now I like Brad Pitt.
Are you an exhibitionist?
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. It just depends on how I feel at the time.
Dish us some dirt on working at Playboy.
Sorry, I will not talk about Playboy. It's a great honor being a Playmate.
Scarface is one of my favorite films. I read somewhere that you had a cameo in that. How did that come about?
Yes I did. It was my first acting part in a movie. They were so nice to work for and of course they were trying to pick all the girls up on the set.
By "they," do you mean the director Brian De Palma and star Al Pacino?
All the guys in those days were just horny little suckers.
Oh Teri, you tease. What about The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years?
Not much to talk about. Paul liked me a lot at that time, but I was married to another rock star who was not as big as him but that's my love to this day.
You mean Paul Stanley from KISS? You're in the scene where Paul is shown through an overhead camera on a giant bed with all those girls, right? Where he says, "Don't let anyone tell you you can't live like this. I do. If you want it, you do it." That always struck me as totally egomaniacal.
I had fun with him, that's all I can say.
You're the only Playboy centerfold to do hardcore porn. Was that an easy decision? Do you regret it?
It was the right thing to do at that time. No regrets!
Your first XXX film was Inferno. Was that a scary experience?
Just not knowing what to expect was. But it turned out to be great, and at that time all the companies and people were so nice, not like nowadays. By the way, it was one of the sexiest things I ever did. Plus it was fun since my husband did a scene in the same movie with me.
I heard that choosing to do hardcore had something to do with you being neighbors with hardcore director Fred Lincoln.
Yes, Fred lived in the same apartment building that I lived in. When we were at the pool, he would always ask if I wanted to get in the biz. I did my first movie with him as the director.
Had you seen any of Fred's movies before you worked with him? He's done some crazy shit. Defiance of Good is just so over-the-top.
We watched X-rated movies, so I'm sure we did, but we never looked at the credits. We never made it through the first scene before having sex. It's funny, some of the stars that turn me on I got to do in real life. Peter North at that time was my favorite porn star.
I've read multiple complaints from porn geeks on message boards who think you're too loud and fake sounding when you do sex scenes. What is your response to harsh criticism like this from fans?
No, it was all me. When I was younger I was very loud. Sometimes my husband had to put his hand over my mouth so as not to blow his ears drums out. I will admit sometimes the porn-star dicks were so big that after doing a scene for hours I was in pain, so I was screaming because it would hurt. I have a small, tight pussy.
My impression from watching videos like Friends and Lovers 3: The Dark Side and some of your other tapes is that you really dislike getting cum on your face. If that's the case, why did you agree to shoot the scenes that way?
Cum in the face is not my favorite but the fans like it and I don't mind doing it for a scene.
Did you really get paid $25,000 to grow pussy hair?
Yes I did, and the movie will be coming out in a few months. They have asked me to do a second one, so I'll have to grow it back again for that shoot!
