Wow, that's a shocker. She was gorgeous back in the day.

OK, this is getting weird. She might not be dead after all:

As of 2 hours ago, TMZ is reporting that Tanya is, indeed, dead for sure this time.

It seems that other major news outlets are holding off reporting it until they can get a concrete confirmation, which is understandable.

This is startin' to remind me of the "Death of Mary Queen of Scots" routine from Monty Python.

"I think she's dead."
"No... I'm not."

I was just reading that story on Yahoo too. It does sound like the "Mary Queen of Scots" bit.

I remember the case was similar with Tom Petty back in 2017. He was reported dead, but he was really just taken to the hospital, where he eventually died only hours later.

Funny Monty Python bit, but for sad and pathetic for journalism. Reporters should really stop jumping the gun before getting conformation.

Anyways, sad to hear. Not to diminish her work, but she was the first girl I ever saw topless. Beastmaster was a childhood favorite even before I was old enough to appreciate such things.
