RIP

Oh no - this one is sad for me. I never saw her in the roles mentioned above - for me, she was one of Charlie’s Angels and Sheena, Queen Of The Jungle. 65 is way too young.

RIP, ma’am.

Wow that's young. Rest easily, Tanya.

R.I.P.

To me she'll always be Kiri from The Beastmaster.

R.I.P., Tanya, and thanks.

Really sad, she was gorgeous. RIP.

RIP

WTF. They are saying she's alive now and the report of her death was a mistake?

Umm… so 2020 is done, but the law of death has been broken in 2021?
Buckle up, me Buckos. We're in for a weird one. I think I need to dig out my white gold class ring.

Yes, I just saw this:
Tanya Roberts Is Still Alive, Despite Her Rep Having Said She Was Dead according to TMZ.

and from Variety:
Former Bond girl and “Sheena: Queen of the Jungle” star Tanya Roberts was mistakenly announced as dead late Sunday night.

Her rep Mike Pingel told Variety that although her husband, Lance O’Brien, was originally told she had died, the hospital called Monday morning to report she was still alive. However, Pingel said that Roberts remains in the ICU in “dire” condition.

TMZ first reported that she was still alive.

Roberts played Stacey Sutton in the 1985 James Bond film “A View to a Kill” as well as Midge Pinciotti on “That ’70s Show” between 1998 and 2004.

The 65-year-old performer was admitted to Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles after collapsing on Christmas Eve.

She appeared in films including “The Beastmaster” (1982), “Sheena: Queen of the Jungle” (1984), “Body Slam” (1987) and “Night Eyes” (1990). Early in her career, she appeared in “Zuma Beach,” “Pleasure Cove” and “Waikiki.”

On the “Charlie’s Angels” TV series, Roberts played Julie Rogers and more recently, she appeared in the 2005 series “Barbershop.”

Though it’s not clear exactly how the mistake happened, hospitals in Southern California are operating under extreme strain right now due to an excess of hospitalizations for COVID-19. Between Dec. 25 and Dec. 28, there were no ICU beds available in the area that includes Cedars-Sinai, and the majority of beds were filled with COVID patients.

Roberts collapsed on Dec. 24 and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

My wife just told me she was still alive.

♫ I am not dead yet
No need to go to bed
No need to call the doctor
Cause I'm not yet dead. ♪

Hopefully she will have a good laugh.

This thread should be re-titled "Tanya Roberts Lives!".

Except now she is really dead:

This has been a rollercoaster. If I was her rep I wouldn't have bothered retracting.

So her boyfriend went from believing she was dead and having that initial surge of grief, to a moment of joy at having her still alive, to now grieving her a second time?

That's cruel, man.

So far this does not sound like anyone who is resting easily, but I will try again:
Rest easily, Tanya.

F.R.I.P., Tanya.

RIP
