. . World News – US – R. . I. P. . Tanya Roberts, Bond Girl and That ’70s Show Actress

Tanya Roberts – who played a Bond Girl in A View to a Kill on Roger’ and Donna’s mother in That ’70s show – has died. Actress Sheena and The Beastmaster appeared to be perfectly healthy before collapsing after walking her dogs on Christmas Eve, her spokesman told TMZ on Sunday. Roberts was rushed to the hospital and put on a ventilator, but her condition, which the spokesperson said was not related to COVID, never improved and the actress died on Nov.. January at the age of 65.

Roberts – or Victoria Leigh Blum, as she was then called – was born and raised in the Bronx. She left high school at the age of 15 to hitchhike around the country. After returning to New York, she began working as a model and then as an actress. After starting out in commercials and off-Broadway dramas, Roberts made her film debut in the horror film Forced Entry in 1975.

In the summer of 1980, Roberts was selected to replace Shelley Hack in Charlie’s Angels season five, but the series would be canceled a year later. Roberts starred as Kiri in the 1982 adventure-fantasy film The Beastmaster, which she followed to other fantasy and B-movie fare, including Sins Of Desire, Legal Tender, Deep Down, Inneres Heiligtum, Nachtaugen, Almost Pregnant, Favorite – Deadly Sins, Tourist Trap and Sheena: Queen of the Jungle. The latter was a box office mistake and earned Roberts a nomination for « Worst Actress » at the Razzie Awards.

Roberts followed this flop with one of her most memorable roles, geologist Stacey Sutton in A View To A Kill from 1985. The actress became known to a whole new generation of fans when she joined the cast of Fox ‘That’ 70s Show in 1998 as Midge, mother of Donna (Laura Prepon). Roberts left the series in 2001 after her first husband, Barry Roberts, was diagnosed with an incurable disease. She returned to the series as a guest star in 2004 but ran out of acting credits after her husband’s death in 2006. Robert’s last role was as Ellie Palmer on Showtime’s Barbershop: The Series.
