Tanya Peters (played by the late famous pin-up star Anna Nicole Smith) is the girlfriend / henchwoman of the main villain in the movie parody Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994).

Physical Appearance

Tanya is an attractive, blonde woman with long blonde curled hair, a mole on her left cheek, a large bust and a curvaceous figure. She is shown through out the film wearing glamourous seductive outfits ranging from a pink swimsuit, a blue satin nightgown and a shimmering black ballgown.

Tanya apparently also enjoys eternal youth, for she looked exactly the same in the late 1970s (according to a flashback in the movie) as she did in the early '90s. She would then be about 40 years old in the "present day," but still looks 25.

Events

Tanya (working officially as an ordinary nurse) is the only starting index for the police to find the brain of a large-scale criminal operation. Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad is sent to approach Tanya and try to collect any information that would lead to her accomplices.

However Frank has previously met the ultra-busted blonde back in the 1970s when he asked her to make a statement of a murder in a night club, so she could easily recognise him, even if she's a real blonde (with a real blonde brain & memory)!

Frank anyway embarks on this mission more difficult than it seems...

Despite apparently being a dumb blonde, Tanya has an unusually complex personality. While she willingly helps criminals - and deranged, violent criminals at that - she herself is not murderous and lacks the bullying characteristics of the other members of the Dylan gang. When Frank goes undercover in the gang as the serial killer "Slasher McGurk," Tanya becomes fond of "Slasher" and appears to be genuinely kind to him. For all that, though, Tanya can be unbelievably cruel and rather disloyal as she tried seducing Frank who turned her down, knowing full well she belonged to Rocco but she insisted she could settle for two lovers. When Frank's wife, Jane, sees him being seduced by Tanya, she tearfully demands to know how Tanya could have done such a thing; Tanya who doesn't know Jane is Frank's wife is not at all sorry and smugly tells her, "You just stick your tongue down his throat as far as you can."

To her credit, Tanya does betray the gang in the end and help to save the lives of hundreds of people. She never seems TRULY remorseful, however, so it could have been true that she simply had fallen for Frank and believed he would love her in return only if she were on the right side of the law.

However Frank turned her down again when he saw to his horror that she had a male attachment. It is unknown what her fate was afterwards, but is assumed that she was arrested for helping Rocco with his crimes, possibly with a shorter sentence because she helped the police.
