Teri Weigel Bio
Teri Weigel, born Teresa Susan Weigel, is an American model and actress also known as Teresa Weigel. She was born on February 24, 1962, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Weigel was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for April 1986. She was 24 years old when her centerfold appeared.
Teri Weigel is 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall and has brown hair and green eyes. Her published Playboy measurements were 36-21-34 inches (92-53-87 cm).
Teri quickly became a favorite among readers, appearing in a number of Playboy videos and even crossing over to Hollywood with small roles in action flicks like "Predator 2" and "Marked for Death". She also made memorable appearances as Jade on the hit sitcom "Married... with Children", showcasing her comedic charm alongside her stunning looks.
But Teri's story would soon take a dramatic turn - one that would make her both infamous and iconic.
In 1990, a devastating car accident left her with serious neck and back injuries, requiring multiple surgeries and months of painful recovery. Unable to work and facing mounting bills, Teri and her husband, Murrill Maglio, were forced to sell their home. While filming one of her final Playboy video projects, a co-worker suggested a controversial solution: adult films.
At first reluctant, Teri eventually took the plunge. With support from her husband and guidance from their neighbors - adult film producers Fred and Patti Lincoln - Teri debuted in 1991 in the X-rated "Inferno", making her the first Playboy Playmate to cross over into adult cinema. It was a bold, polarizing move. Playboy, adhering to its long-standing policy, severed all ties with her. She later became one of only three Playmates to appear in both Playboy and Penthouse.
With her new career came new notoriety. She underwent breast augmentation, increasing her bust to a headline - grabbing 36DD, and became a top-billed adult star. Yet her fame came at a personal cost - her parents stopped speaking to her by 1992, and her relationship with Playboy ended in a legal battle when she used the iconic bunny logo on her website in 2000.
Teri Weigel didn't follow the rules - she rewrote them. From centerfold dream to adult film trailblazer, her journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and unapologetic self-ownership. Love her or judge her, Teri remains one of the most unforgettable and fearless figures to ever emerge from the pages of Playboy.
