Ava Monet Bio
September 30, 1957 / Libra / Age 68
Ava Monet is a French-born Penthouse model, glamour model, actress, and signer for a rock'n'roll band, born on September 30, 1957 in Paris, France. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Anna Fraley, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.
Ava Monet was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in December 1980, stepping into the spotlight at 23 years old. With her statuesque 36-23-35 figure, hypnotic green eyes, silky black hair, and natural breasts, Ava brings refined yet playful allure — a perfect balance of confidence, charm, and irresistible energy.
Photographed by Bob Guccione, Ava’s centrefold captured a rare combination of glamour and raw charisma. Guccione himself reportedly called her one of the two or three sexiest Pets of all time, a testament to the magnetic energy she brought to the camera. With striking black hair, green eyes, and honey-toned skin, she embodied a look that felt both exotic and timeless — refined yet unmistakably playful.
Part German and part French, Ava embraced the contrast within her own identity. She described herself as headstrong yet sensual, blending confidence with spontaneity in a way that made her impossible to ignore. Her natural beauty and self-assurance radiated through every frame, creating images that felt alive rather than staged.
Beyond modeling, Ava had ambitions that reached far beyond the page. After completing acting classes in West Hollywood, she set her sights on becoming a professional actress, dreaming of roles that would let her explore performance in new ways. A devoted soap-opera fan, she imagined one day appearing on General Hospital, bringing her dramatic flair to television screens. Singing lessons and occasional modeling kept her creative energy moving forward as she built a career on her own terms.
Her personality matched her look — lively, expressive, and drawn to the energy of Los Angeles life. Having moved from Boise, Idaho, she embraced the freedom of California, finding joy in roller discos, beach days, and music blasting through warm nights. There was a restless optimism about her, a sense that she was always reaching toward the next experience.
Her December 1980 Penthouse pictorial captured that moment perfectly: youthful, confident, and full of promise. She projected independence and clarity about what she wanted — equal partnership, strong connection, and honesty in both life and love. It was that openness, paired with undeniable glamour, that made her stand out.
