COVER STORY
This month's angel got her wings clipped with the fall of Charlie's Angels, but that's nothing to harp about for sexy tigress Tanya Roberts; the TV screen was too small to frame her symmetry. Now she burns bright in the forests of a film called The Beastmaster and throws down her spears for our portfolio unfolding on page 150. Contributing Photographer Richard Fegley caught the beastmistress in his sights for our cover. Tanya says she's more involved with her body than with her face, but both drew roars from us.
