* Sarina, one of the Augments in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' that works with Bashir in "Statistical Improbabilities", is catatonic in that appearance due to her senses being too slow for her brain to process. In a later appearance, Bashir is able to get her highly accelerated neural pathways in tune with her senses, breaking her out of her catatonia...and the first time she smiles, Bashir is absolutely smitten with her.
** In "Amok Time" many a [[Fan Girl]] seems to have had this reaction to {{spoiler|[[
* This is a fairly common reaction to Francine's "better moments" in ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]''.

* In the comic opera ''The Firefly'' (no relation to ''[[Firefly]]''), a waif wins a man over from his [[Disposable Fiance|Disposable Fiancée]] by smiling at him.
* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]: Roxane is extremely beautiful even without smiling, but at Act I scene V, Cyrano mentions that her smile is akin to perfection. In act IV scene V, we know this is not an [[Informed Ability]] because of Roxane's answer to the Gascon cadets about how she passed enemy lines to smuggle them food:
{{quote|'''Roxane:''' None too hard. I but drove quietly forward in my carriage, and when some hidalgo of haughty mien would have stayed me, lo! I showed at the window my sweetest smile, and these [[Officer and a Gentleman|Senors being (with no disrespect to you) the most gallant gentlemen in the world, — I passed on!]]
'''Carbon:''' True, that smile is a passport! }}
* In ''[[The Little Foxes]]'', Regina has a smile that profoundly affects her brother Ben.
