film information
Plenty O'Toole played by Lana Wood is the final Bond Girl to appear in Diamonds Are Forever. As with a number of other Bond Girls, Plenty’s introduction to Bond is famous.
Plenty walks up to Bond and says cheerily "Hi! I'm Plenty", leading to Bond's response after looking at her ample cleavage "But of course you are".
Plenty meets Bond whilst he is playing craps in The Whyte House. Starting with $10,000, Bond manages to make $50,000 and gives $5,000 to Plenty for her "help". Uncharacteristic for Bond, he wishes Plenty goodbye but she decides to take Bond for a drink. We then see Bond take Plenty back to his hotel room where 007 starts to undress her. Unknown to Bond, Morton Slumbers men are waiting and escort a topless Plenty out of the window more than 10 stories up into a pool below. Looking down from above Bond comments to Morton Slumbers men "Exceptionally fine shot", to which the reply comes "I didn't know there was a pool down there!"
Although nothing to do with the diamond smuggling, Mr Kidd and Mr Wint kill Plenty by drowning her in Tiffany Case’s pool after mistaking Plenty for her.
character information
Plenty O'Toole certainly knows how to use men for her advantage. She likes to gamble, but with other peoples money. Plenty is first seen gambling with another mans money, but when he comments he is out of cash and suggests they "Go back to my place" she gives him the brush off. On her way to find her next victim, she hears Bond ask for $10,000 credit at the craps table and introduces herself.
Even though 007 gives Plenty $5,000 for her very limited help, she thinks he is 'a bit strange' but decides she's on to a good thing. It is her involvement with Bond that, like some other Bond Girls, causes her death.
other information
Plenty O'Tooles death is not explained properly in the final cut of Diamonds Are Forever. Featuring in deleted scenes, Plenty is seen taking Bond out to dinner. After she is thrown out the window she returns to Bonds room to see 007 and Tiffany in bed. After discovering Tiffany’s address in her handbag she decides to pay her a visit. However when Mr Kidd and Mr Wint pay Tiffany a visit they mistake Plenty for Tiffany leading to her death. §
