Zdenka Podkapova is a Czech-born Penthouse model, actress, and former gymnast. She was born on August 6, 1977 in Brno, Czechia. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Zdenka Novotna or Zdenka Popova, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.
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 arrived in Penthouse with discipline etched into her beauty and grace sharpened by years of focus. A former elite gymnast, she spent a decade training at the highest level—five years on the Czech national team and four as national champion—before the camera ever found her. Strength, balance, and control weren’t learned on set; they were earned long before.
Discovered by a scout while out running, Zdenka entered modeling in 1996 and quickly revealed a natural presence that felt both athletic and refined. After reaching out to Penthouse in 1998, her first pictorials appeared that same year, leading to her selection as Penthouse Pet of the Month. Readers responded instantly.
Two years later, she made history. In 2001, Zdenka was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Year, becoming the first woman from the Czech Republic—and only the second European—to earn the title. The moment was emotional and symbolic, marking not just personal achievement, but a broadening of the magazine’s global identity.
Her career extended far beyond Penthouse. Zdenka graced the pages of leading international publications and worked with renowned fashion and lingerie brands, while also exploring artistic film projects. Educated in economics and fluent in the rhythm of multiple cultures, she split her time between London, Los Angeles, and her hometown of Brno.
For Penthouse magazine, Zdenka Podkapova represents a modern classic: disciplined yet sensual, international yet grounded, and quietly historic.
