Publicist for actress Tanya Roberts says she is still alive, despite reports of her death

tmp6a47cb91-32f5-447b-bd6e-2b6daea115c6-jpg

Tanya Roberts’ publicist and longtime partner have released statements that the actress is still alive, despite previous reports that had announced her death on Sunday. A day after releasing a statement saying that the 65-year-old had died, her rep Mike Pingel said on Monday that he had been mistaken.

Pingel said Roberts’ partner, Lance O’Brien, had informed him of her passing at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Roberts had been hospitalized there since Christmas Eve, when she collapsed at home after walking her dog. Pingel told TMZ that O’Brien got a call from the hospital on Monday morning saying Roberts was actually alive; however, Roberts remains in the ICU in “dire” condition as of Monday. Roberts does not have COVID-19, but she was placed on a ventilator because she was struggling to breathe, according to O’Brien — who said he wasn’t allowed to visit Roberts because of coronavirus protocols, until what he thought were her final moments.

Roberts was known for her part as Stacey Sutton in the 1985 James Bond film “A View to a Kill,” and also appeared on the TV show “Charlie’s Angels” for its final season in 1980-1981. She later starred on “That 70s Show” as Donna Pinciotti’s mom Midge. Roberts was previously married to actor Barry Roberts, who died at 60 in 2006.

Larry King Hospitalized in L.A. with COVID-19

tmp81633512-ea61-40f9-8262-912339884d25-jpg

Larry King, 87, has been hospitalized in Los Angeles for COVID-19. The Larry King Now host has been ill for 10 days and remains in isolation, and cannot be visited by ex-wife Shawn King — whom he filed for divorce from in 2019 — or their two sons, Cannon and Chance King.

A source close to the King family told ABC News, “Larry has fought so many health issues in the last few years and he is fighting this one hard too, he’s a champ.” In May 2019, King suffered a near-fatal stroke just weeks after he had heart surgery to place a stent. He survived a heart attack in 1987 as well as prostate and lung cancer.

Sadly in 2020, King lost two of his children: Andy, 65, to a heart attack and Chaia, 51, to lung cancer. The pair died within 23 days of one another. King shared daughter Chaia with his ex-wife Alene Akins. He adopted Andy, Akins’ son, from a previous relationship, after the two got married in 1961. They split in 1963 and got back together in 1967, only to divorce again in 1972.  King is also father to son Larry King Jr., with ex-wife Annette Kaye.
