Tera Patrick (born Linda Ann Hopkins Shapiro on July 25, 1976) is an American erotic actress. She has appeared under various names, including Tera Patrick, Brooke Thomas, Sadie Jordan, and Tara Patrick (coincidentally the real name of actress Carmen Electra).

Patrick was born in Great Falls, Montana to a Jewish father and Thai mother, resulting in her exotic physical appearance. While Tera was quite young, her mother moved to Thailand to live permanently, and her father moved with her to San Francisco, California and raised her there alone.
