Melinda Kae Ledbetter (born October 3, 1946), also known as
Melinda Wilson, is the wife and manager of musician-songwriter
Brian Wilson of
the Beach Boys. She was formerly a model and car saleswoman. Ledbetter is credited as a factor in the court-ordered separation between Wilson and his therapist
Eugene Landy. These events were later dramatized in
Bill Pohlad's 2014
biopic Love & Mercy, in which Ledbetter is portrayed by
Elizabeth Banks.
