Wood sang when she starred in the film Gypsy (1962) alongside Rosalind Russell. Her appearance in that film led critic Pauline Kael to comment “clever little Natalie Wood… [the] most machine-tooled of Hollywood ingénues.”She made her film debut in The Searchers as a child actress and later achieved notability for playing Sandy Webber on the TV series Peyton Place and Plenty O’Toole in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Her older sister was Natalie Wood.
