Tanya Roberts’ longtime partner explained to The Post on Monday how the former Bond girl was mistakenly reported dead by her publicist.
Lance O’Brien, 62, said the mix-up occurred during a conversation he had with the actress’ rep, Mike Pingel, on Sunday — in which O’Brien said he was “blubbering” after an “end of life” visit with Roberts at the hospital.
“[Pingel] goes, ‘What happened?’ And I say, ‘I just said goodbye to Tanya, and I got to see her beautiful eyes one last time.’ And after that, I’m just blubbering,” O’Brien recalled. The call with O’Brien apparently prompted Pingel to issue a statement on Sunday announcing the 65-year-old actress’ death — before backtracking on Monday.

She might be very sick in the hospital, and due to COVID, the family has limited access and communication.

Yeah, that wouldn't make anyone think she'd died.

Her longtime partner, this O’Brien guy, seems a little suspicious to me...perhaps the circumstances of her illness should be investigated a little carefully to rule out foul play.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
She’s in a better place now.
This room has good daylight and a newer tv.

Faking death seems like a good way to get attention and revive a dying career.
