Susan Bay (born March 16, 1943), also known as Susan Nimoy, is an American actress who portrayed Admiral Rollman in two episodes of television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "Past Prologue" in the first season and "Whispers" in the second.[2]

Career

Bay is a member of the board of directors of the Foundation for National Progress, which publishes the magazine Mother Jones.[3] She acted in the 2009 film Mother and Child.[4]

Personal life

Bay is cousins with Temple Israel of Hollywood's Rabbi John Rosove[5] as well as with film director Michael Bay.[6]

Bay married actor John Schuck, and together had a son called Aaron. The couple divorced in 1983,[7] with Bay subsequently marrying Leonard Nimoy a year after he divorced Sandra Zober, his first wife.[8] 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.[9] In 2007, they financially supported WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, an art exhibition at the MOCA.[10] In 2008, they made a $1,000,000 donation to The Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater at Griffith Observatory.[11]

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.[1]
