Bond connection: In "Doctor No" James Bond plays Baccarat with a crowd of people at a casino in London. Sylvia sits across the table. Bond receives message from M and he has to leave. After meeting with M, Bond returns to his apartment. There, he finds Sylvia putting golf balls into a hat wearing only a button-up shirt of his. Although he must run to the airport, he spends a quick amount of time with her.

In "From Russia with Love" Sylvia picnics with James Bond and notices the scar on his back, before he is paged by Miss Moneypenny.
