Tanya's rep tells TMZ, she was on a walk with her dogs on Christmas Eve and when she returned home she collapsed. She was taken to the hospital and put on a ventilator but never got better. We're told it was NOT COVID-related. Tanya died today.
In the days leading up to her collapse, we're told Tanya appeared perfectly healthy ... even doing video chats for her fans.
Tanya was a go-to model and actress in her heyday -- so much so, she even appeared as one of the Bond girls, Stacey Sutton, in "A View to a Kill," opposite Roger Moore.
She also starred in campy adventure fantasy flicks like "Sheena" and "The Beastmaster," plus a bunch of raunchy comedies, slashers movies and action/erotica B-films like "Sins of Desire," "Legal Tender," "Deep Down," "Inner Sanctum," "Night Eyes," "Almost Pregnant," "Favorite Deadly Sins" and "Tourist Trap," plus several others. All in all, she has 41 acting credits to her name dating back to '70s.
Speaking of that era, she might best remembered as Donna Pinciotti's mom, Midge, on "That '70s Show" -- who was always getting ogled by the boys in the neighborhood. Tanya was portrayed as a dumb blonde, who eventually left her TV family and the show entirely to deal with her hubby's real-life illness.

She was one hot woman. This thread needs pictures.
She must have lived very hard to die so young.
That she was. Pix at the linked story.
Gerry, of Gerry & the Pacemakers also died.
The fact that she was devoted to her marriage speaks very well of her
Who’s the third?

After Midge left the show they brought in Brooke Sheilds to play Bob’s wife. Bob was a lucky lucky guy. Except then after Brooke left they gave some bull dyke type woman the part to play for Bob’s girlfriend. Poor Bob.
RIP Tanya. I’m sure you will be rewarded in heaven for taking care of your sick hubby.
With no actual details I would guess a brain aneurysm. That is what my wife’s mother died of at 60. It was a similar story. My driver at work started having difficulties, we basically forced him to go get checked out and he had a brain aneurysm the size of an egg that was ready to burst at any time. They take out 500,000 people a year world wide, most of whom never saw it coming.
I thought this was about an ice skater for a second.
RIP.
Who is/was Tanya Roberts?
“Not covid related”: Therefore of no interest.
Red Sonya, a jungle sprite.
Thanks, Ben!
NO! NO! NOT TANYA! OH SHEENA, SHEENA!
She was the beautiful Kiri the slave girl in The Beastmastet.
And theres a very gratuitious booby shot in her first scene.
That seems a bit cruel, uninformed and judgemental.
