Former Bond girl Tanya Roberts is still alive, despite the fact that her publicist previously announced that she had died.
According to The Metro, the actress, model, and producer was thought to have passed away at the age of 65, after spokesman Mike Pingel claimed she had collapsed on Christmas Eve after taking her dog for a walk.
This led to multiple news outlets reporting that the former Charlie's Angels star had died.
Take a look at the actress' performance in A View to Kill:

Pingel was informed that Roberts was put on a ventilator, but did not survive.
Due to Covid-19 hospital protocols, only a few of her friends and loved ones were permitted to visit her at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Per TMZ, her boyfriend Lance O'Brien went to the hospital on Sunday, January 3, after receiving a call from doctors saying the actress was fading fast and close to death. O'Brien claimed that he spent time sitting with his partner before she lost consciousness and shut her eyes.
However, while O'Brien was being interviewed by Inside Edition about his partner's apparent death, he received a phone call from the hospital confirming that Roberts was, in fact, alive.

In the interview in question, a tearful O'Brien stated: "The hospital's telling me that she's alive and they’re calling me from the ICU. I'm so happy."
Per The Metro, in an earlier statement made at the time of the performer's 'death', Pingel said:
"I’m devastated. I've been friends with Tanya for over 20 years. She was full of boundless energy and we always had the best times. She was truly an angel and I will miss her so so much."
Meanwhile, O'Brien stated: "Tanya and I have never been apart. This is too much to handle. Her animals are lost without her and so am I. As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes. I was able to see her beautiful eyes one last time. Tanya had the most beautiful eyes."
Tanya Roberts is best known for playing the role of Stacey Sutton opposite Roger Moore in the 1985 Bond movie A View To Kill, as well as starring as Julie Rogers in Charlie’s Angels, and Midge Pinciotti on That 70s Show.
