Bay, a Canadian who spent much of her life as a housewife, fulfilled her desire to become an actress in the 1970s, when she was in her mid-50s.

Her first movie role came in the 1976 Goldie Hawn-Chevy Chase comedy "Foul Play," and she began a string of TV guest roles on "The Jeffersons," "The Dukes of Hazzard" and as Fonzie's grandmother on "Happy Days."

She also played the "marble rye lady" on "Seinfeld" and acted in several David Lynch films, starting with "Blue Velvet."
