Susan Napoli Bio

October 3, 1965 / Libra / Age 60

Susan Napoli is an American-born Penthouse model, glamour model, and actress, born on October 3, 1965 in New York City, New York, United States.

Susan Napoli was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in February 1986, stepping into the spotlight at just 20 years old. With her statuesque 35-23-34 figure, soulful hazel eyes, rich brown hair, and natural breasts, Susan embodies a bright, rising sensuality — fresh-faced, confident, and full of magnetic charm.

Susan Napoli arrived in Penthouse with a quiet confidence that felt deeply personal — the confidence of someone who had grown into her own beauty rather than taking it for granted. Photographed by Carl Wachter, psychology student brought a natural warmth to the pages, balancing intelligence, ambition, and sensual charm.

Susan began her modeling career in Illinois in 1985 while studying at Northern Illinois University. For her, appearing in Penthouse represented more than glamour; it marked a personal victory. She spoke openly about being teased for her looks when she was younger, making her selection as Pet of the Month feel like a moment of transformation and self-acceptance.

In front of the camera, Susan combined softness with playful confidence. Her stunning figure and expressive eyes gave her pictorial an intimate, approachable quality, while her personality added a spark of mischief. Though she pursued serious goals — including hopes of helping rehabilitate troubled youth — she also embraced fun, spontaneity, and the thrill of stepping outside convention when the moment felt right.

Her path later expanded beyond modeling into acting, with appearances in films such as The Fabulous Baker Boys, What About Bob?, and Belle en het Beest, showing her ability to move between worlds while keeping her grounded, relatable charm intact.

For Penthouse readers, Susan Napoli represented a fresh mid-’80s ideal: smart, sincere, and quietly seductive — a woman whose beauty felt real because it was rooted in confidence earned over time, not simply given by the camera.
