Early life and education

Alana was raised as a single child in Nacogdoches in Texas, before her family moved to Houston when she was nine years old. She was not very close to her parents, and was mostly raised by her grandmother, who was highly religious.

Alana became interested in modelling while attending F. Austin High School, where she played several sports such as soccer and tennis just to stay in shape and be ready for her preferred modelling career, however, after matriculation, she turned to alcohol and became bulimic. At the age of 18, Alana was raped as she states in her memoir “Rearview Mirror”, but after two years of pulling herself together, she moved to New York to pursue her career as a model.

Modelling career and movie roles

She signed a contract with Ford Models soon after her arrival in ‘the big apple’, but then in 1971 she was invited to portray a Nurse in the biographical movie “Evel Knievel” which starred George Hamilton, her future husband.

After winning her first role, Alana often traveled between New York City and Los Angeles for her modelling photoshoots and movie roles.

In 1972, she played the lead character Janis in the sex comedy film “Night Call Nurses”, which also starred Patty Byrne and Mittie Lawrence as three attractive women working as nurses in the psychiatric ward at a local hospital.
