Former James Bond actress Tanya Roberts, best known around the world for her role in "In the Face of Death", is dead.

The 65-year-old collapsed while walking her dogs on December 24th, was then hospitalized and died on Sunday in Los Angeles, her publicist Mike Pingel told the Hollywood Reporter. 

"I'm devastated," said Pingel.

"She was brilliant and beautiful, I feel as if a light had gone out." Roberts was the "most lovable" person and had a "big heart".

She loved her fans and probably didn't know how much she meant to the fans.
