    Actress Tanya Roberts, whose husband said she died at an LA hospital, is not dead, her spokesman says - TMZ

    Not to backseat mod but shouldn't this be in the 'Back from the Dead thread for less famous people involved in film'...?

    The OP started that thread back in ‘01 as a precaution, anxiously checking in every few days since thinking ‘maybe today...’.

    If this was a film I'd be guessing the husband switched off the life support machine and was on his way to Mexico when the hospital called with surprising news.....

    She's a better actor than the husband gave her credit for

    Aww shame. She was luminous in such as Quatermass and the Pit, The Gorgon etc. Fine looking woman in her day. Nearly made the 90 too.

    Yeah, I'd like it confirmed from herself she is his girlfriend. And as for the Aha Aha crying. Give me a break.

    Soooooooo fake. As if it wasn't bad enough for the families of those who have actually died!!! That's a disgusting publicity stunt, even if just on his part and the poor woman is actually critically ill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,014 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    She has now died

    Such a weird story. I pity the family who've had to go through this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Eduard Khil


    She was critical and in isolation so the premature death was just that, she has now died very sad situation and not at all a publicity stunt. Just stupid people representing her in a very bad way.

    I think this kind of stuff is almost inevitable when there's this bizarre rush to declare celebrity deaths.

    Whatever way this turns out, the publicist needs firing.

    Pretty sure the publicist is out of a job regardless. What with their client being dead.

    I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. His name became synonymous with the 7Up series which I loved. It will be hard to imagine someone else interviewing them if they do another one. It was only in the last year that I discovered he directed Gorillas in the Mist, a great film. I did not know he directed The World is Not Enough, one of the more banal James Bond films.

    Time and tide as they say.
    I rewatched Police Academy last night on Netflix. She was 37 when it was made and I swear you'd only take her for mid to late 20s looking at her.

    Kind of sad how she ended up. As she never married or had kids. Only family was three brothers accordingly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 699 ✭✭✭gigantic09


    Her voice gave her a childlike quality in those movies as well. I suppose not seeing someone in so long, you always picture them as they were. Nowadays is somebody famous is out of the spotlight for a few months we get a 'whatever happened to' story on one of those clickbait sites.

    Director Steve Carver has died of heart attack at 75.

    He was part of the huge Roger Corman alumni who's career took off in the 70s - best known for Big Bad Mama (Angie Dickinson giving it gangbusters in the roaring 20s) and two Chuck Norris films Eye for an Eye with Lee Van Cleef and Lone Wolf McQuaid with Barbara Carrera

    Speaking of genre talent - Julie Strain star of any number of Cinemax type late night cable epics has died at just 58 from dementia, created due to a fall in her 20s.

    Autobiography called - 6'1" and worth the climb. :)

    The only place I can see Julie Strains death mentioned is on wikipedia. I know there were reports of her death last year that proved false.

    Is there some detail you're leaving out? Not everyone wants to get married and have kids, doesn't mean she didn't lead a perfectly happy life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Is there some detail you're leaving out? Not everyone wants to get married and have kids, doesn't mean she didn't lead a perfectly happy life.

    How do you want to go?
    Be surrounded by a loving partner, kids and even grandkids as you leave this existence? Or be on your lonesome.

    Sure, let's take what you said on board. Maybe she did enjoy not having a husband/kids. I never knew Miss Ramsey. But neither did you. People have regrets at the end.

    All I made was a respectful comment of saying sad - that It's nice to hear when someone has loads of people around then when they go. Did that some how upset you that you had to question what I said? Did you get out of bed the wrong way?

    I just found it to be a really odd statement. That's why I asked if you had some detail that you left out. But it seems you didn't, you just assumed she died unhappy and alone because she wasn't married with kids.

    No, I didn't know her myself either, that's why I didn't make any assumptions.

    I noticed you did not say RIP or any words in relation to her passing. You got back to some chap who said sad how she ended. That was the only thing that interested you.
    No "ah she was great in police academy" or anything to that effect even. No doubt you'll try and backtrack by saying some guff now.

    Now, you say assumptions. Well from our limited interaction it is my assumption that you are not really a nice person.

    So jog on mate. Get your kicks else where.

    The legendary stunt driver Remy Julienne died the other day of Covid. Most famous for the stunts on The Italian Job, Ronin and a load of James Bond films. I remember watching a documentary on his work when I was a kid and being in awe.

    The car chase in Ronin is very hard to beat

    They kinda ruined it though, by having another one shortly after, IIRC.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Analogue values! :)

    One of Remy Julienne's teams greatest moments was a series of adverts for Isuzu when they launched the Gemini.

    10 minutes of ads not all stunt driving some nifty stuff around Paris, you can see why no one does this sort of thing now. One it's not PC to be so celebratory about cars but mainly no one would believe it - "that's all done with CGI I bet"

    Amazing scene. Makes me wonder how eerily silent a car chase with electric vehicles would be.

    Was just reading there that Remy said the hardest stunt he had to do was make the truck do a wheelie for "Licence to Kill". Also interestingly he was convicted of negligence, later overturned, when a cameraman died on set.
