“I’m devastated. She was brilliant and beautiful and I feel like a light has been taken away,” Roberts’ representative and long-time friend Mike Pingel told THR.

“To say she was an angel would be at the top of the list. She was the sweetest person you’d ever meet and had a huge heart. She loved her fans, and I don’t think she realized how much she meant to them.”

Tanya Roberts got her acting start in the 1976 horror film The Last Victim, originally titled Forced Entry. She soon found her way onto the big stage when she was cast as “Julie Rogers” on ABC’s Charlie’s Angels in its fifth season, replacing Shelley Hack.
