Rhiana Post
Penthouse Pornstar, August 1976

Rhiana Post Bio

Rhiana Post was an American adult model and actress. She was born Henrietta Kelogg on November 4, 1952, in Washington, District of Columbia, United States.

Rhiana Post stepped into the Penthouse spotlight in August 1976 as a featured model at 23. Rhiana's work as adult model and actress gave her Penthouse appearance a clear career context, while her brown hair, brown eyes and 33-24-33 figure defined the feature's visual profile.

Some Penthouse models become remembered not only for the images they leave behind, but for the sense of adventure surrounding them. Rhiana Post was one of those figures. Her August 1976 Penthouse appearance arrived during the magazine’s golden era of bold personalities and unforgettable centerfolds, presenting a brunette beauty whose appeal combined classic glamour with the independent spirit of the mid-1970s.

Raised in Puerto Rico before returning to the United States, Post brought a distinctive background and a worldly quality to her modeling career. Her Penthouse pictorial reflected the magazine’s fascination at the time with women who seemed to exist beyond the studio setting—women with interests, curiosity, and a willingness to embrace unconventional experiences. The photographs captured more than appearance; they suggested confidence, freedom, and a personality comfortable stepping outside traditional expectations.

That adventurous spirit was also part of Post’s identity away from the camera. She was known to enjoy activities such as skydiving and spending time in the water, pursuits that matched the fearless image she projected during an era when Penthouse increasingly celebrated individuality alongside glamour. Rather than simply fitting into a centerfold role, she represented the magazine’s fascination with women who brought their own stories and interests into the spotlight.

Her screen appearances were limited, but one project gave her a place in film history. Rhiana Post appeared in the controversial historical epic Caligula, playing an imperial brothel worker in the 1979 production. While the film became famous for its controversy and ambitious scale, Post’s appearance remains a small but memorable part of a project that continues to attract discussion decades later.

Looking back, Rhiana Post’s August 1976 Penthouse feature captures a very specific moment in the magazine’s legacy: an era of glamour, experimentation, and larger-than-life personalities. She brought beauty, independence, and a sense of adventure to the pages, creating the kind of image that felt inseparable from the spirit of the time.
