I can think of two:
Laura Vandervoort as Supergirl on Smallville. There were a lot of factors working against me ever liking it: I'm pretty neutral on the comics character itself but have a strong dislike of derivative characters of that kind in general (e.g. She-Hulk, etc); Smallville was not a very good show, and her character wasn't written any better than the rest of it, but something about her performance won me over. Part of it was her look, of course - but there have been lots of attractive actresses who have given performances I haven't liked, so it wasn't just that.
Along the same lines, Yvonne Craig as Batgirl. Again, I like her look, but also there's an attractive personality that comes through in her performance, though very different from Vandervoort's Supergirl.
Actually, now I think of it, I'd say Lois Lane on Smallville as well: can't stand the comics character, but the actress brought a sense of humour to her performance that I found enjoyable.
