Bond girl Tanya Roberts dies; 'Charlies Angels,' 'That '70s Show' star
History-- perhaps unfairly-- will always place Tanya Roberts an actress with an asterisk after her name. She was hired as a Charlie's Angel long after the more glamorous Farrah Fawcett had departed the series and ratings had begun to drop. It was her misfortune to be cast in the role of Bond girl Stacey Sutton, a "brilliant scientist" in A View to a Kill. Tanya Roberts, a girl from the Bronx and someone who could never entirely remove her blue-collar accent, came-off like Leather Toscadero (female garage mechanic) opposite a visibly aging, but still dapper and suave Roger Moore. However for males of a certain age, she will always be known for her role in The Beastmaster where Roberts displayed plenty of skin.
On Sunday morning, Tanya Roberts reportedly fell unconscious while out walking her dogs in the Hollywood Hills. She was transported to Cedars-Sinai Hospital on Beverly Blvd. where she was pronounced deceased. She was 65-years-old.
