Johnie Cheney Bio
December 20, 1968 / Sagittarius / Age 57
Johnie Cheney is an American-born Penthouse model, glamour model, and actress, born on December 20, 1968 in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
Johnie Cheney was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in August 1990, stepping into the spotlight at just 21 years old. With her statuesque 34-23-35 figure, charming brown eyes, rich brown hair, and natural breasts, Johnie carries a new sense of confidence, blending youthful softness with a teasing, self-assured edge.
Photographed by Carl Wachter Jr., she quickly proved that the nickname “Show Me State†was fitting—because, as Penthouse readers discovered, seeing Johnie truly was believing.
Dark-eyed and striking, Johnie approached life with an open and expressive personality. She believed actions spoke louder than words and described herself as someone who lived honestly and intensely, both in relationships and in her ambitions. After exploring modeling, she set her sights on a future in acting, ideally in television, explaining that she loved performing in front of the camera and embracing the energy of being on screen.
Johnie often credited her distinctive outlook to her mixed heritage. Part Russian and part American Indian, she saw herself as both intellectual and instinctive—combining curiosity with a spirited, earthy independence. That blend of traits shaped her personality: thoughtful yet adventurous, introspective yet unafraid to chase excitement.
Johnie brought a natural, athletic beauty to her Penthouse pictorial, but her interests extended well beyond modeling. In her spare time she enjoyed reading, sketching, and immersing herself in music—particularly hard rock. She counted Aerosmith among her favorite bands, admiring the wild energy of their sound, which she felt mirrored her own personality.
Despite her adventurous stories and playful candor, Johnie also hinted at a desire for something deeper. While she admitted to having lived a colorful life, she spoke about eventually settling down and finding a meaningful relationship with someone who could match her passion and spirit.
Following her appearance in Penthouse, Johnie Cheney also appeared in the interactive title Penthouse Electric Jigsaw (1991), a novelty multimedia project that featured several Penthouse models from the era.
For readers of Penthouse in 1990, Johnie Cheney represented a classic blend of Midwestern charm and rebellious independence—an expressive young woman eager to experience life fully while carving out her place in the spotlight.
