Bond girl: Plenty O´Toole

007 Film: Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Actress: Lana Wood

Bond connection: Plenty O’Toole works the casino floor at the Whyte House Hotel, becoming acquainted with seemingly wealthy men hoping to earn a profit for assistance. When her recent target runs out of money, she dismisses his advances and walks away, her attention then being quickly grabbed by James Bond, posing as diamond smuggler Peter Franks.

Later that evening, when Bond has fought off the men and begins seducing Tiffany Case, Plenty returns, soaked, with only a towel to protect her modesty. After finding Bond in bed with Tiffany, Plenty rummages through Case’s bag where she finds her home address in Vegas.

The next morning, Plenty visits Tiffany’s home—presumably to confront her rival for Bond’s attentions, although her precise motivation is never revealed. Unfortunately for her, she encounters Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd, (who think she is Tiffany Case) promptly murder her by drowning her in the swimming pool, either because they mistake her for Tiffany or because they want to silence an inconvenient witness. The discovery of Plenty’s body becomes a major factor in winning Tiffany over to Bond’s side.
