Roberts committed suicide by barbiturate poisoning in Los Angeles, California. Her autobiography (written in collaboration with Aimee Lee Ball) is punningly entitled Cybill Disobedience (ISBN 0061030147). Other movies include Our Man in Havana, A Flea in Her Ear, Doctors' Wives, Wild Rovers, O Lucky Man!, Murder on the Orient Express, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Yanks and Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen. In the 1990s she starred in Cybill, a television sitcom in which the title character was roughly modelled on herself: an actress struggling with hammy parts in B movies and bad soaps, a role for which she won her third Golden Globe award. She starred in 1963's This Sporting Life, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In the 1980s she starred opposite Bruce Willis in the television series Moonlighting (1985-89), a lighthearted combination of mystery and comedy, winning two Golden Globe awards for her role as Maddie Hayes. In 1962 she married Rex Harrison. They were divorced in 1971. Her later films were less successful.

Born in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales, she debuted in movies in 1953 in The Limping Man, but she became well-known by her 1960 Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, in which she appeared opposite Albert Finney.
