Tanya Roberts

Her real name is Victoria Leigh Blum. She was born in New York in 1955, she was a model and took part in commercials, her beauty caught her attention. Her personal life was complicated, as she married as a teenager after leaving high school, and the marriage would end up being annulled. She would later marry Barry Roberts, a psychology student whom she met in line at a movie theater box office; a union that lasted until his death, although they had no children. Her first acting roles were on stage, off-Broadway.

He made his film debut in 1976 with a B-series horror film, Forced Entry . In the same genre and thriller she had a supporting presence in Melody for a Murder (1978) and Tourist Trap (1979). She was also cannon fodder for goofy comedies like Racquet (1979), and was cast in the last season of the Charlie’s Angels television series , when the 80s began, she was the angel Julie Rogers.

It was the time when the peak of his popularity would come, thanks to the adventure genre. To begin with, we saw her in El Señor de las Bestias (1982), together with the herculean Marc Singer , under the command of Don Coscarelli . Which led, at last, to an indisputably leading role, that of Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (1983), where she was directed by John Guillermin , the person in charge of the catastrophist The Colossus in Flames and a version of King Kong .

The time had come then to become a Bond girl alongside Roger Moore giving life to 007 in A View to a Kill (1985). Unfortunately and against the odds, from that moment on his career began to decline, although at least he was lucky enough to land in a nostalgic series, That ‘ 70s Show , in which he had a fixed role between 1998 and 2004. His last work, from 2005 , has also been for the small screen, in the Barbershop series .
