Lana Wood, little sister of Natalie, gets a profile in the New York Times and to restate her case that her sister was not the victim of an accidental drowning but was, in fact, murdered. I have no opinion on this…just the sense that the matter could do with more investigation than it received at the time.
One really trivial matter: Perhaps Lana Wood's most memorable movie role was as Bond Girl Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds are Forever. In the Times article, it says…
In Plenty's last scene, she is thrown through a high hotel window into a swimming pool below, which Lana accomplished without a stunt double, she said, plummeting from a towering platform on full display for an enormous crowd of gamblers on the Vegas Strip, wearing less than she had in Playboy.
In other places, it says stuntwoman Patty Elder doubled for her in the out-the-window high fall and Ms. Wood herself did the splashdown-in-the-pool shot. This sounds to me like a confusion of the reporter, not someone claiming credit for someone else's feat.
