        Her time during Charlie's Angels will be questionable but fun

          Sad this happened. I had the honour to meet her at about a decade ago, very pleasant, and very friendly.
          May she rest in Peace. ;O(

                Oh, yes.

                Midge: "Eric, those are my panties."

                Kelso: "Eric, you are a GOD!!!"

                Very sad to hear this, and still pretty young as well. She was one of those beautiful faces that kept showing up in everything in the 80s. And I'm sure her role as ditzy Midge on That 70's Show wasn't the most fulfilling, but she played it well.

                RIP.

                  Such sad news. She was so beautiful. The Beastmaster remains her most memorable movie for me.

                    I remember reading she left That 70's Show to care for her mother - who had cancer

                    Can't think of ANY actress nowadays that would do that

                    Must have been really sweet in real life

                          I think people understated Kate Jackson's importance to the show. Cheryl Ladd filled Farrah's boots with ease. But after Kate left the wheels started to fall off.

                          Tanya Roberts in her prime was hott as hellfire. Her catching lightning twice with that 70's show almost 20 years later proved she was special. RIP.

                            this story just gets stranger by the minute. her own husband said she died and now they are saying she did not die and is still in the hospital. guess she was only "mostly dead"

                              UPDATE ON STORY:

                              Despite her representation confirming she had died, actor Tanya Roberts is still alive.

                              Her spokesperson, Mike Pingel told TODAY and other media outlets his client had passed Sunday night at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He said her husband, Lance O'Brien, had been told to say his final goodbyes by hospital staff and then called Pingel, distraught after having done so.

                              Pingel said he was with O'Brien during an interview when he got a call from the hospital at 10 a.m. PT on Monday that his wife was still alive.

                              Roberts was out walking her dogs on Christmas Eve when she collapsed. Her illness is not understood to be related to COVID-19, but Pingel would not immediately specify the nature or severity of her illness to TODAY.
