Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) is a fictional character in two James Bond films. In the first of Sean Connery's outings as British secret agent 007, Dr. No, he meets Trench from across a Baccarat Chemin de Fer table at the London club Le Cercle. Her love of games of chance comes to the fore when she later appears in his apartment, playing golf while wearing only his shirt.
Her second appearance is in From Russia with Love where she picnics with James Bond before he is paged by Miss Moneypenny, thus making Trench the first Bond girl to appear in two James Bond films. Originally, Trench was to be a recurring woman character in the films, with the running gag of Bond being called away just as things were becoming interesting, however the idea was scrapped from Goldfinger. Sylvia Trench was supposed to have appeared in the first six films, becoming the principal Bond Girl in her last one.
It should be noted that Trench can be credited with giving the cinematic Bond his most iconic catchphrase; at the Chemin table, when Bond asks her name, she replies: "Trench, Sylvia Trench" and when she asks Bond his he replies in the now-familiar style, mimicking (perhaps playfully mocking) Trench's own cadence.
