Till date, Gayson continues to be the only Bond girl to appear in two 007 films — other being From Russia with Love. Hardcore Bond fans would remember the memorable scene where Connery’s Bond asks Gayson’s Trench “I admire your courage, Miss, er… ?” To which she replies: “Trench, Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr… ?” Connery then delivers the line which went to become the introduction for the next six actors who played the characters as he said: “Bond, James Bond.” Bond producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, also paid tributes to the actor on the official James Bond Twitter account. “We are so sad to learn that Eunice Gayson, our very first ‘Bond girl’ who played Sylvia Trench in ‘DR NO’ and ‘FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE’ has passed away. Our sincere thoughts are with her family,” the post read.
