Terri Welles, a stunningly voluptuous, ravishingly beautiful, and statuesque blonde bombshell, was born Terri Knepper on November 21, 1956, in the picturesque coastal city of Santa Monica, California. Prior to her rise to fame, Welles worked as a stewardess for United Airlines, effortlessly captivating the attention of magazine editors and photographers alike.
In May 1980, Welles graced the cover of the prestigious "Playboy" magazine, a momentous occasion that marked the beginning of her illustrious career as a model. Her striking features and captivating charm earned her the distinction of being named Playmate of the Month in the December 1980 issue of "Playboy."
In 1981, Welles was crowned Playmate of the Year, a testament to her enduring appeal and versatility as a model. During her tenure as a "Playboy" model, Welles appeared in a limited number of "Playboy" videos and posed for select special edition publications.
In addition to her work as a model, Welles has also ventured into the world of acting, appearing in a handful of movies. Her personal life has been marked by a significant union with professional hockey player Charlie Simmer, whom she married in 1981 and had a daughter with prior to their divorce in 1986.
In June 1997, Welles launched her own website, featuring a collection of photographs from her modeling days with "Playboy." However, her entrepreneurial endeavors were soon met with legal challenges from Playboy Enterprises, which filed a lawsuit against her in February 1998, citing copyright infringement and trademark dilution.
The court ultimately ruled in Welles' favor, a decision that was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in February 2002. Despite this victory, Welles eventually shut down her website on October 31, 2006, bringing an end to her online business venture.
