Ilse Steppat doesn’t exactly count as Bond girl, but I’m not sure if she ever saw a finished version of her Bond movie at all: she died three days after the OHMSS premiere. ---

I’d put Ilse Steppat (1969) and Lotte Lenya (1981) under villains as, despite both working for Blofeld, they do more of the villain heavy lifting in their respective film than ESB ---

Good news. TMZ seem to have changed their mind. > **[Report: Tanya Roberts, Bond Girl and That ’70s Show Star, Still Alive](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/01/tanya-roberts-obit)** > > Roberts’s representative has reportedly told TMZ that the actor is alive, despite widespread reports that she died Sunday. Let’s all hope for her recovery. ---

First: great news. Fingers crossed for a speedy and full recovery. Second: one of the most bizarre things to happen in the world of Bond in years… Third: If that’s the way to kick off 2021 after that godawful 2020, all I can say is “Happy New Year”. 😖 ---

What a curiousity. Hmm. However, given the unexpected opportunity, incumbent upon one to hope for a full recovery. From “death”. ---

TMZ is now reporting that Tanya Roberts has _really_ died. I haven’t seen it from another source, but it seems likely. It reminds me of the death of Tom Petty, which was reported, then contradicted, then reported again.
