Who originally said Tanya Roberts was dead? Because she’s not, her publicist says – By Martha Ross (The Mercury News) / January 5 2021
Former ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star remains in poor condition at an LA hospital after collapsing
It’s any publication’s or any publicist’s worst nightmare: To report that someone is dead when that person is not.
That’s apparently what’s happened with Tanya Roberts, the former Bond girl and star of “Charlie’s Angels,” “Sheena: Queen of the Jungle” and “That ’70s Show.” Roberts, 65, was mistakenly announced as dead late Sunday night, after she collapsed at her home on Christmas Eve, TMZ and Variety are reporting.
Roberts is still alive, although she is said to be in “dire condition” at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s ICU in Los Angeles. That’s according to the publicist, Lance Pingel, who originally sent out the press release Sunday night announcing her death, TMZ said.
Pingel told TMZ that Roberts’ partner, Lance O’Brien, originally had been told at Cedars-Sinai that the actress had died. Pingel told TMZ that Roberts was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at home and placed on a ventilator.
