Leland Palmer (b. June 16, 1945, Port Washington, New York, United States) is an American actress, dancer, and singer who has appeared on stage, in motion pictures, and on television. She appeared on Broadway in "Bajour", "A Joyful Noise", "Hello, Dolly!", "Applause", and "Pippin". Palmer received two (2) Tony Award nominations: in 1967 for featured actress in a musical (Miss Jimmie in "A Joyful Noise"), and in 1973 for actress in a musical (Fastrada in "Pippin"). Her U.S. television appearances include guest roles on "Love, American Style"; "Laverne & Shirley"; and "Rhoda". She was also a regular on the Carol Burnett summer replacement variety series "Dinah and her New Best Friends" on CBS in 1976. To motion-picture audiences, Palmer is known best for Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz" (1979), in which she played Audrey Paris, a central character modeled clearly on Fosse's wife, the Broadway star Gwen Verdon.

Palmer is known now as Linda Posner. Although she no longer performs, she continues to work with community theatres in California. She most recently served as choreographer of 42nd Street Moon-San Francisco's production of "Irma La Douce."
