Career

In 1979, Bay and other members of the "Original Six," a group of women directors, created the Women’s Steering Committee of the Director’s Guild of America, to protest against gender discrimination in Hollywood and support female employment on film and television sets at the directing level.[2]

Bay is a member of the board of directors of the Foundation for National Progress, which publishes the magazine Mother Jones.[3]

In 2007, Bay directed the American premiere of Shakespeare's Will, a solo play by Vern Thiessen that featured Jeanmarie Simpson as Anne Hathaway.[4]

She acted in the 2009 film Mother and Child.[5]

In 2019, she began to appear in the CDC's Anti-Smoking Campaign "Tips From Former Smokers" discussing her late husband's battle with COPD [6]

Personal life

Bay is a cousin to Rabbi John Rosove, of Temple Israel of Hollywood,[7] as well as film director Michael Bay.[8]

Bay married actor John Schuck, and together they had a son named Aaron. The couple divorced in 1983.[9] In 1987, Sandra Zober and Leonard Nimoy were divorced and over a year later he married Bay.[10] In 1999, Bay and Nimoy made a $100,000 donation to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) so it could purchase The Ballad of Sexual Dependency by Nan Goldin.[11] In 2007, they financially supported WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, an art exhibition at the MOCA.[12] In 2008, they made a $1 million donation to The Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater at Griffith Observatory.[13]

Bay appeared as a model in Nimoy's Shekhina, which is a book of monochrome nude photography of women representing Shekhinah, the presence of God in Judaism.[14] She and Nimoy were together until his death in February 2015 in California.[15]

gollark: I think Camto already posted it.
gollark: There really is a Nobody, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Nobody is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Nobody is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Nobody added, or GNU/Nobody. All the so-called "Nobody" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Nobody.
gollark: Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Nobody", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Nobody, is in fact, GNU/Nobody, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Nobody. Nobody is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
