About Me

I am a Grandmother/Writer/Actor who enjoys reading, specifically thrillers, murder mysteries and adventure...sounds like escapism? I am a certified SCUBA diver and had always wanted to be a Marine Biologist. I began acting at the age of eight in a film with my sister Natalie and John Wayne, called "The Searchers". It was incredible, and I remember it vividly. I am most famous for being a "Bond girl" in Diamonds Are Forever, opposite Sean Connery. I went on to do some 300 TV shows and a dozen films before moving to the "other" side of the camera as a Director of Development for TV films, and then a Producer of the same. My Daughter's name is Evan and she has three kids and we all live together. Most of the time it is great! I am studying Buddhism, and am of Russian heritage, both Parents wer born in Russia, but I was born here in Sanat Monica California. I have 9 dogs and ten cats, and yes, it takes alot of time to clean after them. I love animals but am not an activist. I love watching tennis, but no longer play. I admire intelligence, honesty and writers! But, a sense of humour is also important...very! I love going to the beach, and still love swimming.Please visit my website at http://www.lanawood.net to purchase photos, fan club info and more!
