She also starred in the fifth and final season of ABC's 'Charlie's Angels' and appeared in the cult films 'The Beastmaster,' 'Body Slam' and 'Sheena: Queen of the Jungle.' Tanya Roberts, the actress best known for playing a Bond girl in A View to a Kill and Midge Pinciotti on That '70's Show, has died. She was 65.

The actress collapsed while out walking her dogs on Dec. 24, and was admitted to Cedar-Sinar Hospital in Los Angeles. She died on Sunday her longtime friend and rep Mike Pingel told The Hollywood Reporter. It was not COVID-19 related, no cause of death has been given but Roberts was not ill in the days leading up to her death.

"I'm devastated. She was brilliant and beautiful and I feel like a light has been taken away. 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," Pingel told THR.

She was a hottie, and held up well even in her 60s.
RIP, Tanya, you fueled the fantasies of many a young male.

yep, i was 9 when my step-dad took me to see it in the theater and it was rated PG i think. I was so happy to see boobies, not grasping what a babe she was until many years later. That very generous topless first scene of hers was great for the tissue industry in the 1980’s.

I seem to remember a story about her leaving “that 70’s show” to take care of her sick husband, basically ending her career.

Life is a vapor and can be gone in a second. May she RIP. We are all just one short breath away from meeting our creator. What think ye of Christ?
