Initially cast as "Miss Moneypenny" (the role ended up going to Lois Maxwell) at the beginning of the James Bond film series, she instead was given the part of seductive "Sylvia Trench" which was to be a recurring role as well. She has the distinction of appearing in the opening casino scene with Sean Connery in Dr. No (1962), in which she says, "I admire your luck, Mr..." and Connery says, "Bond. James Bond". Her part was cut after the second movie, From Russia with Love (1963).
