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.
