- 36th President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) [2017].
- Member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) since 1985.
- Panavision's 70-200mm ATZ (Anamorphic Telephoto Zoom) and 40-80mm AWZ2 (Anamorphic Wide-Angle Zoom) lenses, introduced in 2006, are respectively nicknamed the "long Bailey zoom" and the "short Bailey zoom", because Bailey was among the first cinematographers to ask the company to develop such lenses.
- Member of the 'Official Competition' jury at the 44th Venice International Film Festival in 1987.
- Attended Santa Clara University and Loyola Marymount University, graduating in 1964.
- I think too many cinematographers go into a meeting on a project and spend most of the time talking about technique and style. Talk about script and characters.
