===Bond films===
In the first two James Bond films, ''Dr. No'' and ''From Russia with Love'', Gayson played James Bond's love interest in London, Sylvia Trench. In early scenes, Bond attempts to set up a liaison with her but gets called away on a mission before anything serious can develop. This was intended to be a running motif in multiple films, but the character was dropped after the second film.<ref name="GUARDIAN" /> The character is responsible for Bond's iconic introductory catchphrase, "Bond, James Bond"; when Trench introduces herself to Bond as "Trench, Sylvia Trench" during a game of [[Baccarat#Chemin_de_fer|chemin de fer]] in ''Dr. No'', Bond replies in kind, mimicking Trench's own cadence, after she inquires of him "Mister?"<ref name="SKY" />
Gayson had initially been cast in ''Dr. No'' as [[Miss Moneypenny]], [[M (James Bond)|M]]'s secretary, while the actress who played Moneypenny, [[Lois Maxwell]], had been cast as Sylvia Trench. However, Maxwell found the Trench character too immodest, and their roles were switched.
