In the wake of the death of actress Tanya Roberts of “James Bond” and “That 70s Show”, many celebrities turned to social media to praise the deceased star.
The actress’ aide, Mike Pingel, confirmed the news of her death on social media on Monday.
“I am very sad to have to post this. Yes, Tanya passed away today. I am heartbroken,” said a post on his official Facebook fan page attributed to his publicist. She was 65 years old.
Roberts has been hospitalized since December 24, after he passed out while walking his dogs, Pingel told The Hollywood Reporter. His death was not related to COVID-19, the reports say. She was seen conducting live chats with fans recently, on December 19, and said she was in good health.
