Kristin Bauer (born on November 26, 1973 in Racine, Racine County, Wisconsin) is an American film and television actress.
She grew up in Wisconsin with her parents, an avid horseman and gun collector, and a housewife involved in charities. In childhood she played sports, and like her father rode horses and shot guns.
She studied fine arts in St. Louis, Boston and New York in her youth but she decided to become an actress and moved to Los Angeles, where she is living since she began acting in 1994. She kept, however, drawing and painting in between shooting to this day, among other works doing commissioned portraits as a sketcher and a painter.
In 1995 she had her first recurring role in a television series, as Maggie Reynolds on The Crew. Other recurring roles are those of Geneva Renault in Total Security, Candy Cooper in That's Life, and Belinda Slypich in Hidden Hills.
In 2001 she starred in the award winning short film Room 302 and in 2004 she had a minor role in 50 First Dates, starring Adam Sandler. In the animated series Justice League she supplied the voice of the superhero Mera.
She has also made a number of guest appearances in several television shows, including LA Law, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Dark Angel, Two and a Half Men, Star Trek: Enterprise, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Desperate Housewives, and others.
She famously appeared in a Seinfeld episode (The Bizarro Jerry) as Gillian, Jerry's girlfriend with "man hands". However, Bauer does not really have man hands.
She also works to better the treatment of animals. Inclusively, she lives with her many rescued animals at ther home in Los Angeles where she currently lives.
