Terri Welles (born Terri Knepper; November 21, 1956) is an American actress and adult model.
Welles was born in Santa Monica, California. She first appeared on the cover of the May 1980 issue of Playboy, wearing a flight attendant costume to illustrate a pictorial on stewardesses (Welles was a United Airlines stewardess at the time). She subsequently appeared as a centerfold in the December 1980 issue and was named Playmate of the Year for 1981. Her original pictorial was photographed by Richard Fegley.
Welles married NHL ice hockey player, Charlie Simmer, in 1981; they divorced in 1986.
In 1997 Welles started an online business selling pictures of herself. On her web site she described herself as a former Playboy model and Playmate of the Year. Playboy Enterprises, which was starting up its own online business at this time, sued Welles in 1998 claiming that it had the exclusive right to use of its trademark terms "Playboy" and "Playmate of the Year" for commercial purposes. The outcome of the suit, Playboy Enterprises, Inc. v. Welles, was that virtually all of Welles' use of the terms were considered nominative uses, and did not infringe on Playboy's rights.
Welles closed down her web site on October 31, 2006, with the announcement that it had "been a fun ride".
Good-looking girls don't have it easy. It's not so much that people try to take advantage of them; it's more that they're constantly being underestimated. Anyone who underestimates Terri Welles had better duck. She's a scrapper. Take the time she was pulled over for speeding just after having entered a freeway in her home state of California. Terri was charged with doing 63 where only the double nickel was allowed.
Before Playboy discovered Terri Welles, her domain was seats 10A to 20D on a United Airlines plane. The former flight attendant had a good gig, but as anyone who received coffee from the gorgeous woman could see, she was meant for much more. From the moment Terri first posed for Playboy in May 1980, her sandy blonde hair, gentle curves and mischievous smile stood out. But it wasn't until her Playmate of the Year photo shoot, where she vacillated between bubbly babe and sexy seductress, that her full beauty was revealed. These pictures show a former stewardess becoming a star.
