Belinda Balaski (born December 8, 1947, in Inglewood, California) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her role as Terri Fisher in Joe Dante's The Howling (1981), and has appeared in most of Dante's other films, including Piranha, Gremlins, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Matinee and Small Soldiers, as well as two segments that Dante directed for Amazon Women on the Moon. She also co-starred in The Food of the Gods and Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw, both featuring Marjoe Gortner, and in Cannonball! as a navigator in a cross-country car race.[2]

Among many TV show appearances, she performed in two Baywatch episodes: Sharks Cove, 1992 Season 2 as a worried mother and Sail Away, 1996 Season 6 as Cleo Jennings.
