August 6, 1977 / Leo / Age 48
Zdenka Podkapova is a Czech-born Penthouse model, adult model, actress, and former gymnast. She was born on August 6, 1977 in Brno, Czechia. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Zdenka Novotna or Zdenka Popova.
Zdenka Podkapova was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in April 1999 before rising to the coveted title of Pet of the Year 2001, stepping into the spotlight at just 21 years old. Her measurements are 35-22-35. Zdenka Podkapova has charming brown eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts.
Zdenka Podkapova did not enter Penthouse like a passing fantasy. She arrived with discipline in her bones, the kind of grace that cannot be faked under studio lights. Before the camera ever claimed her, she had spent years training as an elite gymnast, shaping a body built on strength, balance, and control. That history shows in every line of her presence.
There is a refined athleticism to Zdenka that gives her glamour a different texture. She is sensual, certainly, but never loose or careless. Her beauty has structure. A former member of the Czech national team for five years and a four-time national champion, she carried herself with the quiet precision of a woman who had already performed under pressure long before she became a centerfold. When modeling found her, it did not create the poise. It simply gave it a new stage.
Named Penthouse Pet of the Month for April 1999, Zdenka Podkapova had begun modeling in 1996 after being discovered by a scout while out running. She contacted Penthouse in 1998, and her first pictorials appeared that same year, setting the path for a larger moment. In 2001, she was named Penthouse Pet of the Year, becoming the first woman from the Czech Republic and only the second European to receive the title. Her career later extended through international publications, fashion and lingerie work, artistic film projects, and a life divided between London, Los Angeles, and her hometown of Brno. She also studied economics, adding another composed layer to the image.
For Penthouse, Zdenka is a modern classic with history behind the heat. She represents the magazine’s turn toward a more international kind of glamour: elegant, athletic, disciplined, and quietly groundbreaking. Her appeal is not loud. It is measured, controlled, and unforgettable in the way only a true performer’s body can be.
