Pronunciation of her name?


I always thought it was TAN-ya, until I recently heard someone say TAWN-ya (as if it were spelled Tonya).

Anyone know?

When she was one of Charlie’s Angels, it was clearly TAN-ya. People mispronounce all kinds of things, e.g., nook-u-ler.

Okay, thanks. I always pronounced it TAN-ya, but then I recently heard Roger Ebert pronounce it TAWN-ya on his old show (on Youtube) and I was wondering if he was right since he would know more about the movie business & its people then me. (I guess not, at least on this point, lol)
