American actress, Tanya Roberts, best known for her roles in the 1985 Bond film, A View To Kill alongside Roger Moore and That 70s Show is dead. She was 65.
According to her rep, the actress collapsed in her home on December 24 following a walk with her dogs. She was admitted to Cedar-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where she was placed on ventilator before dying on January 3.
The cause of her death is not yet known.
“I’m devastated. She was brilliant and beautiful and I feel like a light has been taken away,” Roberts’ representative and long-time friend Mike Pingel told THR.
“To say she was an angel would be at the top of the list. She was the sweetest person you’d ever meet and had a huge heart. She loved her fans, and I don’t think she realized how much she meant to them.”
Tanya Roberts got her acting start in the 1976 horror film The Last Victim, originally titled Forced Entry. She soon found her way onto the big stage when she was cast as “Julie Rogers” on ABC’s Charlie’s Angels in its fifth season, replacing Shelley Hack.
