ROBERTS, TANYA

Contributed by: The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia by Steven Jay Rubin

(October 15, 1955–January 4, 2021     ; birth name: Victoria Leigh Blum): American actress and former costar of Charlie’s Angels (16 episodes, 1980–1981) who portrayed geologist and oil heiress Stacey Sutton in A View to a Kill. Costumed mostly in long gowns, formal business attire, and mining coveralls, Roberts’s shapely figure remained hidden throughout most of the film, making her the most conservatively portrayed Bond woman in the entire series.

A Bronx native, Roberts made her motion picture debut as Nancy Ulman, the lead in director Jim Sotos’s horror thriller The Last Victim (1976), a.k.a. Forced Entry.
