Pingel told The Hollywood Reporter, “I am devastated. She was brilliant and beautiful, and I feel like a light has been taken away. To say she was an angel would be at the top of the list.

“She was the sweetest person you would ever meet and had a huge heart. She loved her fans, and I don’t think she realized how much she meant to them.”

Tanya’s most notable major film role was in the 1985 Bond film A View to a Kill.
