Biography
About Lana Wood
Former actress, centerfold, model, and Playboy model Lana Wood is an American who was born in Santa Monica, California, United States, on Friday 1st of March 1946. She started her career in 1966 and was active for 12 years, until 1978. During that time, she appeared in films and posed for Playboy. Her most famous role is Plenty O'Toole in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever (1971). She is also known as the younger sister of the late film star Natalie Wood.
Wood was born Svetlana Gurdin to Russian immigrant parents, Nikolai Stephanovich Zakharenko and Maria Stepanovna Zakharenko. Her parents had fled Russia as children during the Russian Civil War. Her father's family left Vladivostok after her grandfather was killed in a street fight in 1918, and they settled in Vancouver before moving to San Francisco. Her mother's family, which owned soap and candle factories in Barnaul, left Russia in 1918 after her eldest son was killed by the Red Army and settled in Harbin, China. Her mother married there and had a daughter, Olga, with her first husband. When Nikolai and Maria married, they brought Olga into the household. The couple had two daughters together: Natalia, later known as Natalie, and Svetlana, called Lana.
When Natalie started acting as a child, her parents changed the family surname to "Wood", after director Irving Pichel's friend Sam Wood. When Lana made her film debut in The Searchers (1956), her mother agreed to use "Wood" for Lana as well, building on Natalie's recognition. Wood is listed in James Bond Girls. She stands 5'3" tall, has brown hair and hazel eyes, and maintains a slim build. She is straight. She had real, natural breasts, a 38D bra cup size, and measurements of 38-24-36. She performed solo nudity (full). Her Instagram follower count is 420.
