Tanya Roberts (https://twitter.com/search?q=Tanya%20Roberts&src=typed_query) -- a one-time Bond girl and cult classic '80s star -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Tanya's rep tells TMZ, she was on 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 never got better. We're told it was NOT COVID-related. Tanya died today.

In the days leading up to her collapse, we're told Tanya appeared perfectly healthy ... even doing video chats for her fans.

Tanya was a go-to model and actress in her heyday -- so much so, she even appeared as one of the Bond girls, Stacey Sutton, in "A View to a Kill," opposite Roger Moore.

She also starred in campy adventure fantasy flicks like "Sheena" and "The Beastmaster," plus a bunch of raunchy comedies, slashers movies and action/erotica B-films like "Sins of Desire," "Legal Tender," "Deep Down," "Inner Sanctum," "Night Eyes," "Almost Pregnant," "Favorite Deadly Sins" and "Tourist Trap," plus several others. All in all, she has 41 acting credits to her name dating back to '70s.

Speaking of that era, she might best remembered as Donna Pinciotti's mom, Midge, on "That '70s Show" -- who was always getting ogled by the boys in the neighborhood. Tanya was portrayed as a dumb blonde, who eventually left her TV family and the show entirely to deal with her hubby's real-life illness.

Tanya also had a year-long stint on the old "Charlie's Angels" show, in which she played Julie Rogers ... a side character who helped the Angels solve crimes. She also helped launch the TV series 'Mike Hammer' after starring as a secretary in the made-for-TV movie, but declined a part in the show that followed.

Of course, Tanya was also a successful model. She'd posed for Playboy, as well as for a ton of TV commercials. She did ads for Excedrin, Ultra Brite, Clairol and Cool Ray sunglasses.

She was married to Barry Roberts for several years before his death in 2006. They didn't have any children. Tanya is survived by her current husband, Lance, and her sister Barbara Chase.

She was 65.

RIP

So sorry to hear about the sad news of the passing of another one of our beloved Angels. Charlie's Angels is still one of my all-time shows and I loved all the Angels. Prayers to the loved ones of Ms. Roberts. You will be missed. RIP

May she rest in peace.

Tanya Roberts is still alive, despite being reported as dead (https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/04/tanya-roberts-still-alive-rep-saying-shes-dead-70s-show-bond-girl/)

On Sunday, Mike Pingel, the PR rep for the former That '70s Show and Charlie's Angels star, announced that Roberts had died (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tanya-roberts-bond-girl-and-that-70s-show-star-dies-at-65) at age 65 after she was hospitalized on Christmas Eve after collapsing at her home. He even sent out a press release. TMZ even quoted her husband, Lance, saying, "As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes." Pingel is now telling TMZ that Lance got a call this morning from the hospital saying his wife is still alive. "Interestingly, friends of the family also contacted TMZ Sunday saying Lance had called them to inform them of the That '70s Show star's death," TMZ adds. Roberts was famous for playing Midge Pinciotti (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJuEyRgwzF8), Donna's dim-witted mother, on That '70s Show. She also played an Angel on the final season of Charlie's Angels.

Goodness. I had just read on Twitter that she was actually still alive, thank heavens...

Any particular reason they thought she had passed on?

She’s supposedly still in critical condition, but if she hopefully pulls through, the first thing I’d do if I were her is fire that publicist.

By the way, can TMC take 5 seconds off from posting links and go update the thread title to reflect current information?

She is now dead:

Boy, this is some messed up news. First she is reported dead, then she’s reportedly alive, then she’s reported dead again.

What a mess that it turned out to be as well.

Poor lady ! Hoping she really isn't dead , so sad the information got so mixed up !:confused: If she did pass, may she rest in peace, way to young to pass away !:(

What an awful time for her family and friends. They lost her twice. I can't even imagine their pain and grief.

Tanya Roberts' Charlie's Angels co-star Jaclyn Smith pays tribute (https://tvline.com/2021/01/05/tanya-roberts-dies-charlies-angels-jaclyn-smith-obituary/)

Following confirmation (https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/05/tanya-roberts-dead-dies-65-bond-girl-70s-show-premature-announcement/) that the former Charlie's Angels and That '70s Show (https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/ashton-kutcher-informs-70s-show-costars-tanya-roberts-isnt-dead/) star died last night at age 65 (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tanya-roberts-bond-girl-and-that-70s-show-star-dies-at-65-her-partner-now-reports) following a false death report (https://www.primetimer.com/item/Tanya-Roberts-is-still-alive-despite-being-reported-as-dead-rPSkBx) on Monday, Smith posted an Instagram tribute to her former co-star. “Tanya joined #CharliesAngels for the final season, closing it out as it was initially intended with a red head, a brunette and a blonde," she wrote. "She brought joy to so many people and had a career spanning decades. Good bye angel, Rest In Peace.” Roberts died from a urinary tract infection that spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and bloodstream after being hospitalized on Dec. 23 (https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/05/tanya-roberts-death-lance-obrien-describes-final-moment-premature-announcement/) -- not Christmas Eve, as originally reported.

Really a shame. I always liked her. And I really like that she always seemed to accept who she was. While other gorgeous model types liked to pretend that they were 'serious actresses' and resented the obvious, which is they got by on looks alone, Tanya had no problem with it. She didn't complain when required to wear skimpy outfits and made a pretty good living off it.

Wish she pulled through but alas she didn't.

Have they released the cause of death yet? I heard she had some liver trouble but it had nothing to do with COVID.

She always seemed too skinny to me going back to the Charlie's Angels days & even before. But ALL the Angels seemed too skinny to be honest.

Wow, very bizarre!

Millions of people get UTIs but dying from them is almost unheard of unless you're very old which she clearly wasn't.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but why wasn't Tanya Roberts asked to reprise her character (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffycharliesangels.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F180526243030%2Fmichelle-phillips-and-tanya-roberts-with-robert&psig=AOvVaw00c9xfqYfQWEBq9xxLHz86&ust=1629352676729000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAwQjhxqFwoTCKiX6vLxufICFQAAAAAdAAAAABAI) of Officer Britt Blackwell (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffycharliesangels.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F180526243030%2Fmichelle-phillips-and-tanya-roberts-with-robert&psig=AOvVaw00c9xfqYfQWEBq9xxLHz86&ust=1629352676729000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAwQjhxqFwoTCKiX6vLxufICFQAAAAAdAAAAABAI), on Vega$ (https://64.media.tumblr.com/00b10066857daa8f547ecd7100cc3eea/143e2868455171cc-fe/s1280x1920/17c19451ce078df2f67cdc62620f814a60c64944.jpg)? It had already been established that Vega$ took place in the same universe (poobala.com/charlieandvegas.html) as Charlie's Angels. At least they would've kept the angle that all of the Angels were ex-cops. I don't understand why they instead, went with the angle of Tanya being a former model turned private investigator.
