Bauer appeared in several other pornographic titles under her Pia Snow moniker, including Bad Girls, Bizarre People (in bondage gear), Nightdreams, and others.
Bauer's Penthouse centerfold appearance led to acting for the Playboy Channel and a film try-out for director Fred Olen Ray. Ray liked her audition, and offered her the part if she would be willing to dye her hair black. Her first B-movie was The Tomb (1986), it would be the first of many.
