Cheryl Rixon is an Australian-born Penthouse model, actress. She was born on October 12, 1954 in Perth, Australia.

Cheryl Rixon was chosen as Penthouse Pet of the Month in December 1977 and Pet of the Year 1979. Cheryl was 23 years old when she was honored with the prestigious title of Penthouse Pet. Her measurements are 37-23-35. Cheryl Rixon has charming brown eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts.

Cheryl Rixon is the kind of woman who defined an era—and then kept evolving. She embodied late-’70s glamour with confidence, wit, and unmistakable star power.

Before Penthouse, Cheryl was already turning heads. In the early 1970s, she was twice a finalist in Australia’s Annual Miss West Coast bikini pageant and served as a hostess on a local game show. Acting followed naturally, with appearances on television series like Homicide and a recurring role on the comedy soap The Box. Her film work ranged from the playful cult romp Plugg (1975) to memorable turns in Swap Meet (1979) and Used Cars (1980), where her charm proved as sharp as her looks.

Penthouse captured her at full stride. After her Pet of the Year win, Cheryl returned for follow-up pictorials in late 1979 and early 1980, while also posing for Oui and Playboy. She became a fixture of the period’s pop culture—hosting events, launching New York City’s “Festival of Fragrances” in 1980, and continuing to model into the mid-’80s.

Never content to stand still, Cheryl later pivoted again—this time into design. In 1996, she launched her own jewelry line, Royal Order, channeling the same eye for style that once defined her on the page. Now based in the U.S. and married to club owner Art Davis, she balances creativity with independence, proving that reinvention can be its own kind of glamour.
