Michelle Bauer (born October 1, 1958, in Montebello, California) is an American B-movie actress known as a legendary scream queen, former porn actress, and bondage model. She was Penthouse magazine's "Pet of the Month" in July 1981. Bauer appeared in the cult porn film Café Flesh (1982) under the pseudonym Pia Snow. She reportedly enjoyed working on the film and posing nude for various hardcore film covers but insisted on using a double for sex scenes.
Bauer's success with Penthouse led to roles on the Playboy Channel and various film offers, including the role of the murderous Nefratis in Fred Olen Ray's B-movie The Tomb (1986). After her first divorce, Bauer's ex-husband sued to prevent her from using his surname professionally. She temporarily used the name "Michelle McClellen," after her second husband, in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988), but the press continued to use "Bauer," which her first husband eventually accepted.
