Easter came early.

Wonder if she's in a coma or something.

The TMZ report is odd. They said her rep believed she was dead, but her husband said she opened her eyes on her deathbed.

Thank god this random F-tier """celebrity""" from 40 years ago is still alive.

Thank god this random F-tier """celebrity""" from 40 years ago is still alive.

I like to celebrate life regardless of celebrity status

 

[triplestation]

only way to know for sure is to have her tap dance by herself

Isn't that just a bed, then?

That's what happens when your publicist wants a scoop. He literally couldn't wait to get out of the hospital room and start tweeting.

 

[greyshark]

Sounds like she’s not in great condition and may not have much longer anyway.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I had no idea who this woman was until somebody mentioned sweaters.

 

[King of Foxes]

Obviously a femmebot

 

[borborygmus]

tl;dr: Her publicist managed to get her in the news cycle despite her being totally washed up.

Still a human life with family and friends dude. Don't be so cruel.

Im cynical, but thats too much Dont think nearly dying is very good PR.

It's too much for them to report she was dead without making sure so you'll forgive me if I think something fucky is going on. Some of these people live for attention. The takeaway is she's alive, and everyone just published retrospectives of her career.

edit: I am of course capable of great stupidity so let's see how this plays out. But for now I'm skeptical. Hollywood's just too full of shit.

What a babe back in the day. Played Kevin Sorbos wife in Hercules did she not? I bet he tapped the hell out of that.

Edit: That was Tany Kitaen I was thinking of. Still around. RIP Tanya Roberts.

The video of her boyfriend/or husband finding out is pretty incredible.

You never watched The Beastmaster??? I bet everyone who did had a crush on her.

This is insensitive but...

...aaand she's gone.

 

[AJUMP23]

The whirlwind of emotion they have put her family through is awful.

 

[Goro Majima]

It's a Trick. Get an Axe.

RIP though. 65 is young for anyone and super young for someone who appeared to be of a healthy weight all their life.

 

[Xyrmellon]

Topher Grace's Twitter thread on this (and the first response) had me cracking up way more than I should have.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I only remember her tits from That horrible show. RIP.

Man, that's sad. She was in a few cool movies, Fingers, Tourist Trap... Sheena. The final season of Charlie's Angels. And of course the best Bond film ever, A View to a Kill
