Bond Girl and ‘That ‘70s Show’ Star Tanya Roberts Dead at 65

UPDATE: 

In a new report from TMZ, Tanya’s rep is saying she’s not dead. Lance, Tanya’s husband, had told the rep, who relayed the information to TMZ, that Tanya had died after collapsing on Christmas Eve. Now the rep tells TMZ that he’s retracting that statement and that Tanya is still alive.

Former “That ’70s Show” co-star Ashton Kutcher took to Twitter to respond to cast mates Topher Grace (Eric) and Debra Jo Rupp’s (Kitty) tribute tweets, informing them that she had not passed, but in a very Kelso way, of course. 

“yo bro she’s not dead,” Ashton replied to Topher.

I was so sad to hear that Tanya Roberts has passed away. She was a Bond girl, one of Charlie’s Angels, and truly a delightful person to work with. I had never acted before and, to be honest, a little nervous around her. But she couldn’t have been kinder. We’ll miss you Midge. pic.twitter.com/ewqDS3Radb

“dj she’s still alive,” he added to DJ Rupp’s message.

Tanya had a big deep hearty laugh. She was all instinct and beauty. In the first season of 70’s we had a scene in the kitchen, drinking cocktails and laughing together. She laughed, spit her drink in my face, apologized profusely and did it 3 more times.I loved her. RIP beauty. pic.twitter.com/C98Pf0Pkzg
