Toole, Plenty O’

Plenty O’Toole is a character from the film version of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novel Diamonds Are Forever. She is played by Lana Wood. The shapely dark haired, dark eyed, Plenty is a very beautiful young woman, and her beauty is enhanced by a low-cut purple satin dress that emphasises her cleavage.

Lana Wood as Plenty O’Toole in ‘Diamonds Are Forever’.

When the audience first sees her, Plenty O’Toole is at a craps table in Las Vegas and the man she is with is broke. He asks her back to his place, but she tells him off and walks away. Her attention is called back to the table by James Bond. She is impressed by his gambling skills and latches herself onto his arm. Bond uncharacteristically tries to send her away, but she proves quite difficult to ditch.

In a scene deleted from the theatrical film but now available on DVD, Plenty and Bond share a dinner together and she invites herself to his hotel room.

Plenty accompanies Bond to his apartment and kisses him out of the blue. Bond responds by undressing her — unzipping her purple satin dress, stripping her down to her necklace, her purple high heels and her transparent pink panties. Now almost completely naked, and anticipating a night of passion, Plenty excuses herself to her bedroom, intending to remove her panties, high heels, and necklace, only to discover several thugs there. The nearly naked Plenty, sans necklace, is forced out of the apartment by the “pervert convention” and is thrown out the window, landing in the pool and surviving the fall.

In a deleted scene, she goes back to Bond’s room to discover him with Tiffany Case. She then looks through Tiffany’s purse and discovers where Tiffany is staying. In a later scene, Bond finds Plenty in Tiffany’s pool, drowned — presumably — by Blofeld’s henchmen Wint and Kidd, having been mistaken for Tiffany. The drowning itself is not seen in the film.
