Sad to see. Here's an obit:

I should add that Lund screen-tested for In Like Flint. I would assume it was for the role that went to Jean Hale, but I can't be 100 percent sure.

Re: Deanna Lund RIP
Probably was since she was a blonde naturally I think but had gone redhead for the movie "Tony Rome" and Irwin Allen insisted she keep it that way when he signed her for "Land Of The Giants".
Re: Deanna Lund RIP
Sorry to hear of her passing, I loved watching LotG before Sunday lunch as a kid. In the UK it was always either that or 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea', happy days.

Sorry to hear of her passing. I had the Astin Riddler episodes on just last week, and thought she was very good in them.
Re: Deanna Lund RIP
So sad to see we lost another one from our show. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
Re: Deanna Lund RIP
I met Deanna Lund in 2006. She was nearly 70 but looked decades younger. Still slim and beautiful.
RIP

Re: Deanna Lund RIP
You know. I always thought she would have been perfect as Poison Ivy. That red hair of hers was simply beautiful. I know she didn't have much of an opportunity to act as the Riddler's moll, but I would have loved to have seen her do more.

P.S. We all know John Astin is still alive, and perhaps the only other surviving Batman villain besides Julie, right?

Re: Deanna Lund RIP
I met her at a couple of conventions. She was always nice and eager to share career stories. Of course, Land of the Giants made me a fan.
She's moved on to her next adventure, and will be missed.

Re: Deanna Lund RIP
She was in a few B-movies in the late 80s/early 90s, when she would have been in her 50s. She still looked great in those, and, since they were low budget, I think it was her natural beauty and not anything added in post to make her look better. One of her B-films, The Girl I Want, also featured Burt Ward and Lyle Waggoner. Deanna played Scream Queen Linnea Quigley's mother.
Sad to lose another performer from the series. Ms. Lund's Anna Gram was one of the feistiest molls. I really enjoyed her performance.
