Roberts got her big break in 1980 when she was cast alongside Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and David Doyle in TV hit Charlie’s Angels. She was the sixth actress cast as an Angel, and her season proved to be the show’s last.

Roberts followed this with appearances on The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, as well as leading roles in such movies as The Beastmaster and Sheena: Queen of the Jungle.

However, the actress will always be best remembered as Stacey Sutton, the final love interest of Roger Moore‘s James Bond, in 1985’s A View to a Kill.

In the years since, Roberts got her most prominent acting work in a recurring role on sitcom That 70s Show.

Roberts’ husband Barry Rogers passed away in 2006; she never remarried and had no children. We extend our deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved her.
