Cheryl Rixon, a stunning blonde bombshell, was born on October 12, 1954, in the vibrant city of Perth, Western Australia. This ravishing beauty's early life was marked by her participation in the Annual Miss West Coast bikini beauty pageant, where she was a finalist not once, but twice, in the early 1970s.
Cheryl's foray into the entertainment industry began with a stint as a hostess on a local Australian game show. Her film debut was in the lowbrow comedy romp Plugg, released in 1975. This talented actress also made guest appearances on the popular TV series Homicide, playing three distinct characters across three episodes, and had a recurring role in the comedy soap opera The Box, which aired in 1974.
Rixon's popularity soared when she was named the "Pet of the Month" in the December 1977 issue of the iconic men's magazine Penthouse. A year later, she was crowned "Pet of the Year" in a televised pageant held at the Aladdin hotel in Las Vegas. Her subsequent nude pictorials in the November 1979 and January 1980 issues of Penthouse cemented her status as a pin-up sensation. In addition to her work with Penthouse, Rixon also posed for nude pictorials in Oui and Playboy magazines.
As an actress, Cheryl has appeared in a handful of films, showcasing her comedic talents as the bubbly Annie in Swap Meet (1979) and her sultry side in the raucous Used Cars (1980). In July 1980, she even had the honor of kicking off New York City Mayor Ed Koch's "Festival of Fragrances."
However, Rixon's professional journey was not without its challenges. In 1985, she sued Penthouse magazine in the New York State Supreme Court for failing to deliver on various prizes promised to her, a lawsuit that was later upheld on appeal.
Cheryl Rixon's post-entertainment career has been marked by her foray into the world of rock music and her continued modeling endeavors, which ceased in the mid-1980s. In 1996, she launched her own line of designer jewelry, aptly named "Royal Order," solidifying her status as a multifaceted and resilient personality.
