Born in Houston, Texas. After graduating from high school, Teri studied and worked at The Dallas Theatre Center, in Dallas, Texas. Moving to Austin, Texas, in 1971, the young actress attended the University of Texas and St. Edwards University. It was in Austin, where she was discovered by director Tobe Hooper and producer Kim Henkel, after seeing an article about her in the local newspaper. After auditioning, Teri was chosen for the part by Hooper and Henkel, and offered her the role of "Pam" in their film project, Massacre à la tronçonneuse (1974). It was a hot, grueling shoot, fraught with all the wrinkles low budget films incur, twice shutting down filming entirely. Simultaneously, Teri worked in local theater. After the film's 1974 release, she studied acting in Los Angeles and New York. Doors opened as a leg and foot model in commercials and print work, while continuing stage work. - IMDb Mini Biography Teri McMinn(1951년생, Houston, Texas, USA) 는 배우로, 대표작으로 텍사스 전기톱 학살, Rise of the Dead: Grandmageddon, Off the Hook가 있으며, 그 외에도 텍사스 전기톱 연쇄살인사건 3D, The American Nightmare, 디너 위드 레더페이스 등 다양한 작품에 출연했다. 특히 2026년에는 Rise of the Dead: Grandmageddon에도 참여해서 활동중이다.
