Roberts reportedly collapsed while walking her dogs on December 24 and was rushed to the Cedar-Sinar Hospital in Los Angeles where she took her last breath.
Many paid tribute to the actor’s commendable career path, tweeting:
A View To A Kill has always been the 007 film I enjoyed the most and Im awfully sad to hear leading lady #TanyaRoberts has died at just 65 - she was the consummate 80s Bond girl and had a lovely chemistry with Roger. A Hollywood star from another, more glamorous age gone. RIP pic.twitter.com/4lC5OTIUMN
Roberts' most notable major film role was in the 1985 Bond film A View to a Kill. The film, which was to be Roger Moore's last outing as 007, saw her play Stacey Sutton, an American geologist who becomes a target of villain Max Zorin played by Christopher Walken.
Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1955, Roberts did some modelling and commercial work before getting her big acting break on the final season of Charlie's Angels, where she played private investigator Julie Rogers helping the team of female crime fighters. "It was my first steady job, and it launched my career," Roberts said on her website.
