Lana Wood with the two Auction Items
Bond fans know and love Lana Wood who played Plenty O’Toole aside Sean Connery’s James Bond in 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever. Lana has attended many conventions and Bond events in the past, signing autographs and sharing many terrific stories with her fans. Now here’s a chance for 007 fans to do something for Lana and get a couple very cool James Bond collectables as well.
Lana Wood’s daughter, Ev, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. She is 29 years old, a married mother of two incredibly wonderful kids and as you can imagine, they now have huge medical expenses. Both Lana and Ev’s husband are getting by the best they can, but they could use a little help.
Stuart Basinger (shatterhand007.com) has donated two items from his personal collection that he had signed by Lana Wood in Gaithersburg, Maryland this past May to help raise some money for Ev’s treatments.
“Lana told me at the autograph show that Ev has a negative attitude and feels her life will be cut short. She needs prayers from all of us as well as support that life is still worth living. After reading Lana’s bio and Fred’s message [from her old web-site], I felt drawn to helping out. Even if it is for just a small amount.”

What You Are Bidding On…
Lana w/ the DAF PAN paperback

- CD: The original Diamonds Are Forevercd soundtrack (not the re-mastered). Lana signed it saying, “You handle those like a monkey handles coconuts. – Lana Wood – Plenty O’Toole – 05/14/05“
- BONUS: Included in this auction, Lana Wood has graciously offered to send a candid photo of her family and herself to the winning bidder.
Lana Wood will be attending the Hollywood Collector Show in Burbank, CA at the end of this month, July 30-31. During this show CBn will present her with a check. All of the proceeds we receive from this auction will be given to Lana that weekend.

“I wish to thank each and every one of you, not for simply helping with this dreadful disease that has struck someone so young, but for also remembering me kindly… I sincerely appreciate every bid, thought and prayer!”
