Lana Wood Discusses Her Role as Plenty O'Toole in James Bond's 'Diamonds Are Forever'

Lana Wood, the American actress and younger sister of Natalie Wood, is remembered for her brief but iconic role as Plenty O'Toole in the 1971 James Bond film 'Diamonds Are Forever.' The character of Plenty is portrayed as an opportunistic gold digger, first appearing alongside Sean Connery's Bond at a Las Vegas casino. Wood’s portrayal was influenced by actress Leigh Taylor-Young and even drew inspiration from the character Minnie Mouse, contributing to her flirtatious and memorable introduction, 'Hi, I’m Plenty,' met with Bond's classic line, 'But of course you are.' Originally considered for the main role of Tiffany Case, Wood was offered the part of Plenty on the suggestion of screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz. Filming presented challenges due to her height difference with Connery, requiring her to stand on a box for many scenes. In one dramatic scene where Plenty is found drowned, Wood's feet were loosely tied to a cement block, which nearly caused a real-life accident as the block drifted into deeper water before she was rescued by the crew. Despite the role being short-lived, her performance remains a notable part of Bond history, highlighting both her talent and the physical demands faced during filming.
