Tanya Roberts, the
Actress known for her roles in films like A View to a Kill and shows like Charlie's Angels and That '70s Show, has died at 65.
Roberts' representative confirmed to The
Hollywood Reporter the actress died in
Los Angeles on Sunday after she reportedly collapsed on a walk with her dogs on Dec. 24 and was hospitalized. Though a cause of death wasn't specified, it reportedly wasn't related to COVID-19.
In the 1985
James Bond movie A View to a Kill, Roberts played "Bond girl" Stacey Sutton opposite Roger Moore. She also starred as Donna's mother Midge Pinciotti on That '70s Show and Julie Rogers on Charlie's Angels during the classic series' final season. Her other work included roles in The Beastmaster and Sheena.
"She was brilliant and beautiful and I feel like a light has been taken away," Mike Pingel, Roberts' friend and representative, told the Reporter. "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."
