* There is a Russian series called "Odna za Vseh", meaning roughly "one woman who does everyone's job". Each episode consists of a string of short sketches, where the same actress plays a dozen vastly different roles. One of these is that of a millionaire's wife.

* On ''[[Hercules (Disney)|Hercules]]'', Pain and Panic are sent to stop Icarus from kissing Cassandra (because that would violate her [[Deal With the Devil|deal with Hades]]).
