Born: March 1, 1946

The younger sister of actress Natalie_Wood, Lana Wood made her first film appearance at age ten, 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 (1966-1967 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.
