 Maxwell was initially offered a choice between the roles of Moneypenny or Sylvia Trench and opted for Moneypenny as she thought the Trench role, which included appearing in immodest dress, was too sexual.Eunice Gayson was cast as Sylvia Trench and it was planned that she would be a recurring girlfriend for Bond throughout six films, although she appeared only in "Dr. No" and "From Russia with Love".She had been given the part by director Terence Young, who had worked with her in "Zarak" and invited Gayson saying "You always bring me luck in my films", although she was also cast due to her voluptuous figure.
