It sucks when your older sister is about three times more popular than you are, even though she’s been dead for almost 35 years. Yup, Natalie Wood is Lana Wood’s sister, with Natalie returning 5.4 million hits on Google and Lana only 1.8.
Though she has almost 70 acting credits (including lots of TV), Lana will probably always be remembered for her three-minute turn as Bond babe Plenty O’Toole in Diamonds Are Forever. You remember this bit of dialogue, don’t you:
Plenty O'Toole: "Hi, I'm Plenty."
James Bond: "But of course you are."
Plenty O'Toole: "Plenty O'Toole."
James Bond: "Named after your father perhaps?"
James Bond: "But of course you are."
Plenty O'Toole: "Plenty O'Toole."
James Bond: "Named after your father perhaps?"
