Dearest Tanya…my first Velda when I was Mike Hammer.
A gorgeous, sexy, lady with a wicked sense of humor. Because she was also a delicious Bond girl, she loved to tease me as to who was the better shot:
“You think you’re better than Sean Connery?” she would scoff.
“No, of course not!” I replied.
“Good, because you’re not!” she laughed, then she turned and carried her beautiful body back to her dressing room.
Thank you, Tanya, for bringing a sweet touch of humor and glamour into our lives.
Our deepest sympathies to your family.
We miss you.
