Susan Gabrielson is an American-born Penthouse model, glamour model, and dancer, born on January 11, 1968 in Portland, Oregon, United States.
Susan Gabrielson was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in June 1986, stepping into the spotlight at just 18 years old. With her statuesque 36-23-35 figure, seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts, Susan radiates a fresh, playful energy — the kind of youthful allure that feels fearless, spontaneous, and impossible to ignore.
Susan Gabrielson moved through Penthouse with the quiet grace of someone born to dance. Photographed by Dieter Schmidt, the Portland-born beauty brought an elegance that felt almost cinematic — a blend of athletic poise and soft sensuality shaped by years of discipline and performance. Long before the camera found her, a ballet teacher had recognized what she already knew: dance was part of who she was.
By her early twenties, Susan had traveled the world through her art, performing in cities far from home and refining a style that balanced strength with delicacy. Her dancer’s body — graceful yet striking — carried the confidence of someone deeply connected to movement. In front of the lens, she appeared effortless, as if every pose were simply another extension of choreography.
Despite the glamour of performance, Susan cherished privacy and introspection. She described her most authentic moments as quiet ones — waking slowly, dreaming, letting imagination wander before the day began. Inspired by artists who crossed boundaries between stage and screen, she dreamed of bringing that same emotional depth to film one day, viewing movies as another form of dreamlike expression.
Her personal life reflected the same harmony she sought in dance, sharing her world with a fellow performer and finding intimacy not only on stage but in the rhythms of everyday life. Yet she understood that art was only one part of living, believing that dance should mirror life rather than consume it entirely.
For Penthouse readers, Susan Gabrielson represented a more refined fantasy of the mid-’80s — graceful, thoughtful, and quietly sensual. She wasn’t simply a performer captured on camera; she was a woman in motion, balancing ambition, artistry, and the gentle desire for something beyond the spotlight.
