Bond girl Tanya Roberts mistakenly reported dead by publicist after collapsing at US home

Posted TueTuesday 5 JanJanuary 2021 at 11:12am, updated TueTuesday 5 JanJanuary 2021 at 11:34am

Tanya Roberts, who captivated James Bond in A View to a Kill and later played Midge Pinciotti in the sitcom That '70s Show, has been mistakenly reported dead by her publicist after falling at her home.

Key points:

A number of news outlets wrongly reported that Tanya Roberts died on Sunday
Ms Roberts, who was a Bond girl, does not have COVID-19 but is in poor condition after a fall
The actor played Midge, mother of Donna, on the sitcom That '70s

I somehow missed the passing of another great name from the past......Cloris Leachman

died last week at the magnificent age of 94.

According to the news, she kept working well into her 90s and there are two films made in 2019 and 2020 (yet to be released) that she worked in. Amazing woman (and a resounding endorsement of vegetarianism)!!

Yes sad news. A friend informed me this morning but I forgot about it. Cheers.

He was regarded as the "New type of actor" back in the early 1960s. There was an article about them all in a magazine. I think that Cliff Robertson was in it too.

Christopher Plummer and Jason Robards

Yeah, Chrristopher Plummer was an excellent versatile actor and played some challenging roles.

RIP.
