March 22, 1954 / Aries / Age 71
Susan Ryder is a British-born Penthouse model, nude model, and actress. She was born on March 22, 1954 in Preston, United Kingdom. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Sue Ryder, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.
Susan Ryder was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in March 1975, stepping into the spotlight at just 20 years old. Her measurements are 35-20-35. Susan Ryder has charming brown eyes, rich brown hair, and natural breasts.
Susan Ryder emerged as one of the most thoughtful and philosophically inclined figures of Penthouse’s mid-1970s era. Susan brought to the magazine a rare combination of youthful idealism, introspection, and quiet sensual confidence.
Photographed by Bob Guccione, her pictorial reflected the magazine’s belief that eroticism could coexist with ideas. Susan spoke openly about youth as a state of enchantment rather than naivety — a time defined by optimism, curiosity, and resistance to cynicism. She viewed her generation as fundamentally hopeful, less interested in materialism or inherited fears, and more inclined toward emotional honesty and experimentation.
Her personal journey shaped that worldview. After spending twelve years in a Roman Catholic convent, Susan stepped abruptly into adult life, choosing freedom, self-discovery, and a deliberately unconventional path. She described herself as liberated rather than reckless — someone intent on understanding intimacy as part of a broader human connection that included intellect, emotion, and spirit. For Susan, sensuality was not performance but communication, a language inseparable from trust and respect.
Living quietly on a farm outside Philadelphia at the time of her Penthouse appearance, Susan embodied a striking duality: contemplative yet adventurous, shy yet self-directed. Her inclusion in the UK edition of Penthouse the following month underscored her international appeal and the resonance of her perspective beyond a single audience.
Susan Ryder remains emblematic of a brief but meaningful moment in Penthouse history — when the magazine gave space not only to beauty, but to voice, belief, and the idea that sensuality could be thoughtful, idealistic, and unapologetically human.
