Adult Film Star Teri Weigel
-
Interview
Teri Weigel (check out Teri Weigel’s
web site) was destined
for fame. How she achieved that goal is a remarkable story. The third of five
children, Teri Weigel 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. 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 Weigel graced the cover of
the November '85 issue, and appeared as the Centerfold in April 1986. She
continued to work 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". It quickly became obvious that Teri had outlived her
usefulness as a Centerfold, and Playboy unceremoniously kicked her to the curb.
(It was the beginning of an acrimonious relationship that continues to this
day.) As mainstream jobs became increasingly fewer, Teri Weigel finally
considered a career in the adult film industry - something no other Playboy
Centerfold had ever done (or has done since). Because of this decision, Teri
Weigel became persona non grata within Playboy, which has gone to extraordinary
lengths to squelch her porn career. In one notable example, Hugh Hefner is said
to have called Bob Guccione asking him not to make Teri Weigel a Penthouse Pet.
As a result, she has appeared only in smaller pictorials. Wisely capitalizing on
her fame and exposure as a Centerfold, Teri Weigel quickly became a sensation
within the porn industry. To date she has made nearly 50 adult videos, and
recently signed a 12-film deal with a new company. Much of Teri Weigel'
continued success is a result of her uncanny ability to re-invent herself within
an industry infamous for using then tossing aside its talent, and this has kept
her in the forefront for nearly a decade. [source: abridged from Teri Weigel’s
