Danielle Ginibre Bio
May 18, 1959 / Taurus / Age 66
Danielle Ginibre is an American-born Penthouse model, born on May 18, 1959 in Portsmouth, Ohio, United States.
Danielle Ginibre was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in November 1979, stepping into the spotlight at just 20 years old. With her statuesque 35-24-35 figure, seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts, Danielle embodies a bright, rising sensuality — fresh-faced, confident, and full of magnetic charm.
Danielle Ginibre entered Penthouse with the kind of glamour that seems to purr rather than merely pose. There was speed in her imagination, polish in her bearing, and just enough mischief in her smile to suggest that she enjoyed excitement in every form available. She did not come across as a woman who watched life from the sidelines. She wanted the engine running, the champagne cold, the music still going at dawn. That gave her November 1979 appearance a very particular charge: sleek, playful, and unmistakably tuned for pleasure.
What made Danielle especially memorable was the contrast she wore so well. Half French and half American, she carried both a cosmopolitan ease and a taste for spectacle. Fast cars fascinated her from the beginning, and she spoke of them with the same fondness she reserved for daring men. Grand Prix culture suited her perfectly: Long Beach, Monte Carlo, racing champions, late-night feasts, gambling, and flirtation moving at full throttle. Yet for all that speed around her, she preferred lovemaking to unfold slowly. That detail feels exactly right. Danielle liked excitement, but she also understood the value of pacing, of style, of knowing when a thrill should race and when it should linger.
That sensibility gave her Penthouse pictorial, photographed by Stan Malinowski, its polished electricity. Set against the world of Grand Prix competition, Danielle Ginibre brought the page a strawberry-blonde allure and a streamlined figure that fit the mood of speed and luxury beautifully. But there was more to her than racing glamour. Away from the track, she worked in freelance interior decorating and had recently taken up photography herself, turning from subject to observer with evident delight. She described herself as a budding paparazza, amused by the idea that a camera allowed her to make snap judgments and see later whether instinct had served her well. She valued worldly, generous men, enjoyed beautiful things without apology, and still believed a woman should dress for dinner, pamper herself in the late afternoon, and treat her body like something worthy of ceremony.
That is what gives Danielle Ginibre her lasting appeal. She embodied a version of modern femininity that never confused liberation with carelessness. She liked luxury, speed, elegance, and attention, but she wore them with humor and self-awareness. In Penthouse, she became more than a beautiful woman near a fast car. She became a portrait of late-seventies sophistication in motion, with enough style to make extravagance look not excessive, but entirely deserved.
