Lana Wood (born Svetlana Gurdin; March 1, 1946) is an American actress and producer. She is best known for her role as Plenty O'Toole in the James Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Her elder sister was film star Natalie Wood.
Wood was born Svetlana Gurdin to Russian immigrant parents, Nikolai Stephanovich Zakharenko and Maria Stepanovna Zudilova. They had each left Russia as child refugees with their parents after the Russian Revolution, and they grew up far from their homeland. Her father's family settled in Vancouver, British Columbia. After her maternal grandfather died in street fighting in 1918, Lana's grandmother took Maria and her siblings as refugees out of the country, settling in a Russian community in Harbin, China. Maria married there and in 1928 had a daughter Olga Tatulova with her first husband who died in May 2015.
When Nikolai and Maria married, she brought her daughter Olga to the household. The couple also had two daughters together: the first was named Natalia, known as "Natasha", the Russian diminutive. The family settled in Santa Monica, California, near Hollywood and changed their surname to Gurdin. Svetlana, known as "Lana", was born there.
