Talk:Lana Wood

Playboy
From http://lanawood.net: ''... In 1970, Lana decided to pose for Playboy. “I had been asked before and had always resisted, but this time when Hugh Hefner and his people approached me to pose for Playboy, I was willing to consider the possibility”. The pictures appeared in the April 1971 issue of Playboy, along with Lana’s poetry. '''

Oddly, neither or  mentions her though. Nevertheless her biography says she posed for Playboy, so I've added it into the article. -- Ian ≡ talk 04:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Wild Michigan
The IMDb is listing her among the cast of an upcoming film called Wild Michigan. The movie appears to be legit and includes other 70s-era stars like Clint Howard, however it's always possible the IMDb might be listing another Lana Wood by mistake. I'm giving the IMDb the benefit of the doubt for the moment. 23skidoo 17:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Lana Wood now works with a casting agency in Hollywood. While not trying to say anything against Lana herself, the company is known to do pre-production and casting work for movies that for one reason or another are never made.  I was involved in 2 such projects in the late 1990's that never got out of pre-production.  Mushrom 15:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

February 1, 1944 or March 1, 1946?
I've noticed a change in the date of birth for Lana Wood, from March 1, 1946 to February 1, 1944. Which of the two is correct, and what citation did you obtain the February date from? I don't see one listed at all.

Again, if any of you claim the February date is correct, again, what citations? WikiPro1981X (talk) 00:37, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have just now fixed the date of birth back to March 1, 1946. WikiPro1981X (talk) 21:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Her California birth index along with most other bio sources give her birth date as March 1, 1946 Thisdaytrivia (talk) 17:07, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Are you sure she was Russian?
Her surname's Zakharenko, a very Ukrainian one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.204.96.83 (talk) 13:07, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, her legal surname was not Zakharenko as it had been legally changed by the time of her birth, unlike her elder sister. As far as the surname "Zakharenko", your assumption is understandable but lots of people who self-identify (as did Wood and her family) as Russian have surnames ending in "enko".

 * Her father came from Vladivostok in far eastern Siberia. see the Natalie Wood article.Parkwells (talk) 18:27, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Use sources for Natalie Wood
Her sister Natalie's life was more thoroughly documented. Editors should use content and cites in that article to support material about Lana's birth family and early life.Parkwells (talk) 18:10, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
