World News – AU – Bond Girl & ‘That’ 70s Show ‘star Tanya Roberts dead at 65

Tanya Roberts – a one-off Bond girl and cult classic of the 80s – has died . . . TMZ has learned.

Tanya’s rep tells TMZ that she went out for 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 she never got better. We were told it was NOT COVID related. Tanya died today.

In the days leading up to her breakdown, we were told that Tanya looked perfectly healthy . . . even video chats for their fans.

Tanya was a model and actress in her heyday – so much so that she even appeared as one of the Bond girls, Stacey Sutton, alongside Roger Moore on « A View to a Kill. ».

Speaking of that era, one could best remember Donna Pinciotti’s mother Midge on « That ’70s Show » – who was always spoiled by the guys in the neighborhood. Tanya has been portrayed as a stupid blonde who eventually left her TV family and show to deal with her husband’s real-life illness.

Tanya was also on the old Charlie’s Angels show for a year, where she played Julie Rogers . . . a supporting character who helped the angels solve crimes. She also helped launch the TV series « Mike Hammer » after serving as a secretary on the televised film, but turned down a portion of the following show.
