Brande Howard Bio
February 7, 1952 / Aquarius / Age 74
Brande Howard is an American-born Penthouse model, glamour model, and actress, born on February 7, 1952 in Mendocino, California, United States.
Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Lynn Allen.
Brande Howard was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in May 1974, stepping into the spotlight at 22 years old. With her statuesque 36-23-35 figure, seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts, Brande exudes a confident sensuality that feels effortless, natural, and undeniably captivating.
Some women slip easily between worlds. Brande Howard moved through them with the kind of effortless polish that made the camera look as though it had been waiting for her all along. She brought to Penthouse a distinctly modern glamour - bright, composed, and unmistakably aware of its own effect. There is something especially alluring about a woman who seems equally at home in commercial gloss, screen drama, and editorial fantasy. Brande had that versatility, and it gave her presence a sleek, confident appeal.
What makes her so memorable is the balance she strikes between sophistication and accessibility. She does not project distant, untouchable glamour. Instead, she feels vivid and contemporary, the kind of beauty that can sell a fantasy without ever seeming artificial inside it. There is a teasing confidence in her image, but also a professionalism that sharpens rather than softens her sensuality. She gives the impression of a woman who understands exactly how to use the lens - not by overwhelming it, but by letting charm, timing, and poise do the dangerous work.
That instinct served her well across the many forms of visibility the 1970s offered. Brande Howard appeared in film, including Police Story, and became a familiar face in television commercials and print campaigns during the decade's style-conscious years. That broader modeling and screen presence adds depth to her Penthouse appearance. She was not simply passing through the magazine on a momentary wave of attention. She already belonged to the visual culture of the era - glamorous, marketable, and unmistakably photogenic. As both cover model and centerfold, she represented exactly the kind of confident, camera-ready woman Penthouse could elevate into something even more memorable. Ken Marcus photographed her with the kind of editorial clarity that lets those qualities take center stage.
Brande Howard remains one of those Penthouse women who captured more than beauty alone. She brought timing, composure, and a natural fluency in front of the lens that made every image feel assured. Some women look good in a photograph. Brande makes it look like second nature.
