January 2021. Very sadly, Tanya Roberts who played Sheena, died very prematurely at the age of 65 on January 5, 2021. She had always kept very fit, ‘hiking four miles a day’, but on Christmas Eve she suddenly fell ill with a blood infection.
In November 2018 when we showed Sheena at our local cinema she sent me a very nice birthday message. It is very poignant that her last words to me were: ‘Hope to see you guys’. Sadly, it was not to be.
