March 1, 1952 - March 13, 2019 / Pisces / Age 67
Victoria Lynn Johnson was an American-born Penthouse model, adult mode, and actress. She was born on March 1, 1952 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Vicki Lynn Johnson or Victoria Johnson, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.
Victoria Lynn Johnson was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in August 1976 before rising to the coveted title of Pet of the Year 1977, stepping into the spotlight at 24 years old. Her measurements are 35-23-35. Victoria Lynn Johnson has hypnotic green eyes, fiery red hair, and natural breasts.
Victoria Johnson became one of the most recognizable redheads of Penthouse’s 1970s golden ascent. With striking auburn hair, sculpted curves, and a bold, all-American confidence, Victoria embodied the era’s glamorous ambition — fearless, visible, and unmistakably iconic.
She began modeling at just sixteen, first appearing as a bikini model in a store window before moving into commercial print work for brands such as Lip Quencher lipstick and Kodak. Television followed, including a 1975 Shake ’n Bake commercial and a 1980 Jordache Jeans spot that leaned into the country-cowgirl aesthetic of the Urban Cowboy moment. She even had a brief appearance in Smokey and the Bandit — a fleeting line that hinted at bigger screen moments to come.
When Penthouse came calling, Victoria embraced the opportunity to redefine herself. Her centerfold was photographed by celebrated fashion photographer Stan Malinowski, and what followed was a meteoric rise. She graced 15 magazine covers across the Penthouse family of publications worldwide, becoming a newsstand sensation and a fan favorite. Public appearances took her everywhere from department stores to Grand Central Station, from naval bases to Grand Prix events, with Japan proving especially devoted to her signature red hair and warm charisma.
Her most controversial and culturally enduring screen connection came through Dressed to Kill, directed by Brian De Palma. Victoria served as the body double for lead actress Angie Dickinson, a fact that later became public after on-air comments sparked media attention. The revelation led to national coverage, including a feature in People Magazine and even a reference in the Baby Boomers edition of Trivial Pursuit — sealing her place in pop-culture trivia history.
In July 1998, Victoria was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer and given less than two years to live. She fought the disease for two decades, becoming an advocate and spokesperson at events for institutions such as the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Her resilience and public advocacy reframed her legacy from glamour icon to symbol of extraordinary endurance. She passed away in 2019, twenty years after her diagnosis.
Victoria Lynn Johnson remains more than a Penthouse classic. She represents a rare arc — from teenage model to international cover star, from cinematic footnote to cultural trivia answer, and ultimately to a woman whose strength off-camera proved as compelling as her beauty on it.
