fromthe film showing Pleny walking in on Bond and Tiffany, and
ultimately being fatally mistaken for Case.

Biography
The younger sister of actress Natalie Wood, Lana Wood made her
first film appearance at age 10, playing Natalie as a child in
John Ford's classic western The Searchers (1956). It would be
nearly a decade before Lana began her performing career in earnest,
co-starring in the 20th Century Fox TV series The Long Hot Summer
(1965) and Peyton Place (1966-67 season) as, respectively, Eula
Harker and Sandy Webber. Projecting a sexier image than sister
Natalie, Lana was supremely suited for such film roles as Plenty
O'Toole in the 1970 James Bond flick Diamonds are Forever. She
later essayed the more sedate characterization of middle-aged
matron Fran Burke in the CBS daytime drama Capitol. In 1985, Lana
Wood published the biographical Natalie: A Memoir.
