Model Anna Cleveland

Yes, she's Pat Cleveland's daughter. :-)


And, her father is Dutch photographer Paul Van Ravenstein, which means, if you've been paying attention to this blog recently, that top model Appolonia Van Ravenstein is her aunt.  So Anna Cleveland was destined to join the family business.

In fact, Anna Cleveland got into the modeling profession when she was four, appearing in a Moschino fashion show.  She and her brother even joined their mother in a Chanel show when Anna was only thirteen.


She's already accumulated a list of fashion shows to her credit that rivals the Dead Sea scrolls in length, and her editorial credits include assignments for Numéro magazine in France, the Italian edition of Vogue and the British and Spanish editions of Harper's Bazaar.

Fun fact:  Though her father is Dutch (she was born in the Netherlands) and her mother is American,  Anna Cleveland was raised in Stresa, Lago Maggiore, Italy, though her family moved to New Jersey was she was fifteen.  For the record, she turned 27 in March 2016.      

Her she is again, with her famous mother and fashion designer Stephen Burrows. :-)

Model/actress Belinda Bauer

Belinda Bauer started out as a model in New York and quickly graduated to acting.


Originally from Australia, Ms. Bauer came to America in the 1970s and worked as a model for a time, doing ads for clients like Aziza cosmetics, and ad from which the photo above is taken.  By the end of the decade her acting career had started with a role in Winter Kills, a movie of political intrigue based on a Richard Condon novel. 


Her roles in the eighties included that of an alien woman living on Earth in Starcrossed, from 1985, Pat Lennon in 1987's The Rosary Murders,  and Dr. Juliette Faxx in the 1990 sequel to RoboCop (pictured below).  She also had supporting roles in movies like Flashdance and starred as the love interest of Jan-Michael Vincent in the pilot episode of the TV series Airwolf (but her character was killed off in the pilot). 


After the mid-nineties, Belinda Bauer retired from acting and became a psychologist.  She's based in Los Angeles.

This blog is going to be here for a long, long time.
