Belinda Bauer (born Belinda Jane Taubman on 13 June 1950) is an Australian actress.
Bauer was popular in Sydney, Australia as Belinda Taubman and competed in several beauty contests. Her family ran Taubman Paints, the largest paint manufacturing company in Australia at that time. Starting her career as a ballet dancer and becoming a model in New York, Bauer then became popular in several American cult films of the late 1970s and 1980s including Winter Kills, The American Success Company, Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann and Flashdance. In between television work, she also appeared in the films UHF and RoboCop 2.
Her convincing portrayals of hard, vindictive women (including Delilah, in the 1984 television film Samson and Delilah) led to constant typecasting, which may have contributed to the apparent petering out of her career in the mid-1990s. Bauer played the title role in the television film The Sins of Dorian Gray (1983); a rendition of the Oscar Wilde novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. The film was a rare live-action Rankin/Bass production. Another title role was in the television film Starcrossed (1985) where she played an alien woman who came to Earth.
