In 1977, Bach portrayed the Russian spy Anya Amasova in the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me". Bach remarked after the film that Bond is "a chauvinist pig who uses girls to shield him against bullets." The following year she appeared in the movie "Force 10 from Navarone". She lost a role to actress Shelley Hack when she auditioned for season four of the television series "Charlie's Angels". During an interview with Johnny Carson on May 9, 1979, she said that she lost the audition for "Charlie's Angels" because they felt she was too sophisticated in attitude and look, and thought that she was not American, even though she was born in Rosedale and grew up in Jackson Heights, both in Queens, New York City. They asked her manager if she could play an American. Bach has 28 films to her credit. She was featured in a pictorial in "Playboy" in January 1981. She also had a cameo in a September 1987 special issue on the Bond girls.
