Tanya Roberts

  • Name: Tanya Roberts
  • Date of Birth: October 15, 1955
  • Place of Birth: The Bronx, New York, USA
Mini-bio: Tanya Roberts came from modest beginnings in the Bronx, New York, the daughter of a pen salesman (Irish) and a mother (Jewish) who were divorced before she reached high school. Tanya dropped out of hi...( read more)gh school at age 15, got married and hitchhiked around the country until her mother-in-law had the marriage annulled. She met psychology student Barry Roberts in New York while waiting in line to see a movie. A few months later she proposed to him in a subway station, and they were married. She studied acting under Lee Strasberg and Uta Hagen. In her early years in New York she supported herself as an Arthur Murray dance instructor and by modeling. She appeared in off-Broadway productions of "Picnic" and "Antigone" and in television commercials. In 1977 Tanya and her husband, now a scriptwriter, moved to Hollywood. She began appearing in made-for-TV films. After appearing in several minor films, her first big break came when she was selected as the last replacement angel for "Charlie's Angels" (1976) in its final season. The attention she garnered as the newest Charlie's Angel helped secure her most significant film parts: The Beastmaster (1982), the title role in Sheena (1984), and as a "Bond" girl in A View to a Kill (1985). She continues to appear in films, though mainly direct-to-video and direct-to-cable features.
