Phyliss Partin Bio
May 21, 1962 - January 16, 2001 / Gemini / Age 38
Phyliss Partin was an American-born Penthouse model, glamour model, born on May 21, 1962 in Miami, Florida, United States.
Phyliss Partin was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in July 1985, stepping into the spotlight at 23 years old. With her statuesque 34-22-34 figure, charming brown eyes, rich brown hair, and natural breasts, Phyliss brings refined yet playful allure — a perfect balance of confidence, charm, and irresistible energy.
Phyliss Partin brought a softer, more intimate kind of allure to Penthouse. Photographed by Earl Miller, the stunning beauty stood out not for chasing fame, but for her quiet sincerity — a woman whose sensuality felt grounded in emotion rather than spectacle.
Raised in a foster home after her parents’ divorce, Phyliss valued stability and loyalty above everything else. While many models used Penthouse as a springboard to long careers, she saw her appearance as a single adventure — a moment to capture a chapter of her life before returning to the comfort of a committed relationship. Love, for her, was less about glamour and more about trust, something she guarded carefully and offered deeply once earned.
Her personality blended contrasts: sweet and tender one moment, fiery and unpredictable the next. A half-Irish, half-Cherokee spirit, she loved the water — swimming, diving, and feeling most at home near the ocean — and brought that natural ease into her photos, where her relaxed confidence felt effortlessly authentic. She embraced life with humor and spontaneity, never afraid to take small risks if they made the story more exciting.
After her Penthouse appearance and a brief wave of publicity, Phyliss stepped away from the spotlight, choosing married life over the pursuit of fame. That decision only added to her mystique — a reminder that not every Pet wanted the spotlight forever. For readers, she remains a memorable figure from the mid-’80s: sensual, loyal, and refreshingly real, a woman who chose love over celebrity and left behind a quiet but lasting impression.
