So she lives to die another day
You'd have to change it to past tense, because she's now dead.
Its not only virus : Brendan McKane , "Miles Mayhem" in classic 80s toon MASK - Mobile Armd Strike Kommand (asbestos , McQueen died of that too back in the day) , Luke Harper (non-virus lung related)
"Because Bond stars are known to live long"
Sometimes they die relative young : Shaw , Sakata , Mike France , OP extra , Gothard
Supposedly Moritas widow is forging her late husbands autograph : she bought unsgd KK posters on ebay then they suspiciously turned up sgd on ebay - she has sold 100s of these. She also at one time handled Pats fanmail. Real Pat Morita signature is rare , i guess pre-KK he mightve sgd ttm as he could handle the volume then.
RIP
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad to know I'm not the only crazy person who pretended to be James Bond in his back yard :) And it's nice to see some Tanya Roberts / Stacy Sutton love on this page in the last few days.
I would always perform the gun barrel in front of a mirror, drowning in my dad's wedding costume, with my toy gun in my hand and a synthesizer version of the Bond theme playing in the background. ;-)
When imagining my favourite Bond girl, Tanya was always on my mind. Say what you want about her acting, the character, ... she has always remained an exceptionally beautiful woman, who should never have taken such a beating for giving us the "weak" Tracy, but who instead deserved a lot of praise for giving warmth and glamour to an otherwise poorly written character. She didn't clown up that firetruck chase; she somehow found the same energy (James--Oh! J--Oh!) that Moore was able to find (oooOOOOooooh!). They turned "stupid" into "entertaining".
AVTAK is one of my least favourite Bond films, but Tanya Roberts is one of the more enjoyable elements in it. I have always appreciated her as a Bond girl and I will always remember her as an angel.
She seemed like a very nice, shy person. RIP.
The good thing is that every Bond movie conveys a sort of immortality to its stars. The films will be watched forever.
Agreed, best moment in that scene.
I would argue that neither Roberts nor the film is subpar, but I would also say that Roberts is better than the film. When people say her character is "whiny" or "weak" I think they're all referring to just one scene - the elevator sequence. And let's be honest, if I were trapped in a burning elevator, I'd be pretty whiny and weak, too. Other than that one scene, Stacey is resourceful, intelligent, and clever. Bond would never have worked out Zorin's scheme without her, nor would he have been able to stop it.
I've never understood the flack she got for the elevator sequence, myself. She perfectly portrays being terrified in that scene, and her character isn't used to that level of danger.
Now if it had been Wai Lin in the elevator shaft screaming, I 'd have a problem with it.
I think its actually the air blimp sequence at the end that gives the character the reputation of being a bimbo.For crying out loud, the baddies sneak up on her with an AIR BLIMP and she still gets taken by surprise.And this is with Bond shouting '' STACY! BEHIND YOU! ''
Honorary Bond alumni JOHN RICHARDSON has passed on from COVID. He, of course, was one of the final candidates for OHMSS.

That's interesting. Very cool! I always thought Richardson had a Bond like quality in SHE.
I just assumed Stacey was deaf from that massive explosion.

TWINE was one of my first Bond films and it has had a special place in my heart ever since. RIP
