Tanya Robers passed away today at the age of 65, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio. The cause of her death is unknown, but it was not COVID-19 related.
Roberts had a long career with many iconic roles. Throughout the years, she played several sex symbols, including one of the Angels in the final season of Charlie’s Angels. Roberts is one of the few women to be a Bond Girl. She starred alongside Roger Moore in 1985’s A View to a Kill. The actress was also seen in the Sci-Fi classics Sheena and Beastmaster.
However, to most of you, she will be remembered most for playing Donna’s progressive mom on That ’70s Show. A role she opted to leave in 2001 to spend time with her dying husband, Barry Roberts, who died in 2006.
To me, I will always remember her from the Horror movie Tourist Trap. It was the first film that gave me nightmares. Why my father let me watch it when I was a kid, I will never know. In fact, it still scares me.
I am going to watch it again in her honor. Tonight, let’s keep her beauty alive by watching one of her many memorable roles.
