Dr. No trivia

Mistake The role of Sylvia Trench was originally offered to Lois Maxwell, who instead went on to play "Miss Moneypenny" for the next 14 Bond films.

Mistake Sean Connery started going bald when he was 21. In 'Dr. No' (he was 32 then) and any subsequent movies in which he has hair, he was actually wearing a hair-piece.

Mistake Roger Moore was Fleming's original choice to play 007, but he was under a network contract for the television show "The Saint". Other actors who were considered for the role of James Bond included Cary Grant, Trevor Howard, Rex Harrison and David Niven - he would play the role of Bond in the spoof 1967 film "Casino Royale".
