| 20 | * ChekhovsGunman: An unintentional variant: In ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'', there was an episode where her character Calliope played a court jester as part of a fantasy sequence inspired by ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. While said Jester is a OneSceneWonder, she served as the inspiration for the character of Harley Quinn in the first place. |
