Lana Wood’s Daughter Dies: Evan Maldonado Passed Away Two Days Before Aunt Natalie Wood’s Birthday
Evan Maldonado, the niece of the late Hollywood legend, Natalie Wood, and the daughter of former Bond Girl, Lana Wood, died Tuesday at the age of 42, little more than a week after suffering a massive heart attack.
Speaking to Radar Online, Lana Wood confirmed that her daughter, Evan, was given her last rites on Tuesday before the decision was made to take her off life support. She was then declared brain dead that same day, added the 71-year-old actress.
“The hospital kept giving me a sliver of hope,” Lana continued.
“I knew it was wrong, but I wanted it to be true. So I hung on for a week. It’s rough. I feel like I’ve been very, very beaten. I hurt from head to toe with the pain of losing my daughter.”
