She starred in many exploitation films, including the prostitute Clara in Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive, and as Matilda the Hun in the science-fiction film Death Race 2000. Jack Hill, who directed her in The Big Doll House, said of her, "I think she could have had a great career, but she couldn't get her personal life together ... she would be fantastic one day, do everything right, and then she would be out until 4 am partying and the next day she would be useless."[2]CareerCollins was born Roberta Lee Hefley in 1944. She was married to Gunther Collins from 1966–70 and took his surname. The couple had one child, a son, Michael. She won numerous beauty contests growing up and signed to a contract with a studio almost immediately after graduation from high school. However, her option was not picked up, something that was repeated with another studio, "so that made me want to study and become a good actress", she later said.[3] In 1969, she was appointed queen of the Warner Bros-Seven Arts International Film Festival in Freeport, Grand Bahamas Island.[4] She gained a level of fame with her appearance in the enormously popular The Big Doll House. This led to a series of roles in exploitation films. She worked in a number of nonexploitation roles, as well, notably on television. In the early 1970s, Collins briefly dated Glenn Ford.[5] In the early 1990s, she reportedly worked as a caregiver for Ford.[6] DeathCollins died August 16, 2008, from a reportedly accidental overdose of a cocktail of drugs and alcohol.{{Where|date=December 2016}}[7] Her son predeceased her.[8] LegacyIn 2014, a tribute to Collins was part of the St. Louis International Film Festival. Caged Heat was screened and in a concert, Stace England and the Screen Syndicate played an album of songs inspired by Roberta Collins.[9][10] Partial filmography{{Div col|colwidth=30em}}
