Plenty O'Toole is a fictional character from the film version of Ian Fleming's James Bond novel Diamonds Are Forever. She was played by Lana Wood, younger sister of Natalie Wood.
5'2", shapely, dark haired, dark eyed, Plenty O'Toole is a very beautiful young woman, and her beauty is enhanced greatly by a low cut purple satin dress that places emphasis on her cleavage, as does a golden and diamond necklace. When we first see her, she is at a craps table in Vegas and her apparent boyfriend Maxy is out of money. He asks her back to his place, but she tells him off and walks away, but her attention is called back to the table by James Bond, played by Sean Connery, posing as Peter Franks. She is impressed by his gambling skills and latches herself onto his arm, thinking she's hit the jackpot with him. 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 apartment.
Plenty accompanies Bond to his apartment and displays her affection for him by kissing him out of the blue. Bond responds by undressing her—unzipping her purple satin dress, stripping her down to necklace, her purple high heels and her transparent pink panties. Now almost completely naked, and anticipating a night of passion, Plenty, in a fake throaty voice, excuses herself to her bedroom where she takes off her necklace and prepares to remove her high heels and panties, but discovers a group of thugs instead. The nearly naked Plenty is forced out of the apartment by the "perverts convention" and is thrown out of the window, where she lands in the pool.
In another scene deleted from the film, a wet Plenty wearing nothing but a white towel returns to Bond's apartment in hopes of retrieving her clothes and is shocked to see Bond making love to Tiffany Case (Jill St. John). The delted scenes are included on the DVD release.
The next morning, Plenty visits Tiffany's house—presumably to confront her rival for Bond's attentions, although her precise motivation is never revealed. Unfortunately for her, she encounters Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, who promptly murder her by drowning her in Tiffany's swimming pool, either because they mistake her for Tiffany or because they want to silence an inconvenient witness. The discovery of Plenty's body then becomes a major factor in winning Tiffany over to Bond's side.
