Eleanor Perry (née Rosenfeld; nom-de-plume Oliver Weld Bayer, October 13, 1914 – March 14, 1981) was an American screenwriter and author.^[1]

Film critic Charles Champlin fondly remembered Perry as one of the feminists who took part in a protest demonstration where red paint was thrown on promotional posters for the film Roma at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival,^[2] which consisted of an exaggerated nude photo pun on the Roman foundation myth. The outspoken Eleanor Perry was an advocate for women's rights and screenwriters' recognition, often criticizing the film industry.^[3]
