Lana had known Sean previously, having met him through her prior boyfriend. She already got along with Sean, so it wasn’t hard to develop even greater chemistry with him on the set of the film. Sean also became involved with another of the film’s Bond girls, with that being actress Jill St. John. Sean had recently split from his wife, Diane Cilento. Neither Lana nor Sean were interested in a serious relationship, though Lana proved to be the one to officially end things.

The reason that Lana Wood didn't want to start a serious relationship with Sean Connery was that she was already in love with British playwright and composer Leslie Bricusse. Sadly, Leslie was married at the time and would never end up leaving his wife for Lana. Lana is still around to this day, though she has gone through some hard times in recent years due to her late daughter's failing health. Though she's no longer a star, she still likes to reminisce about her times in Hollywood, as well as her affair with Sean Connery on the set of Diamonds Are Forever.
