Would the Mona Lisa be as famous without her enigmatic smile?
Well, she wouldn't be that famous WITH it if she had not been stolen right off the wall at the Louvre.

I don't know about that: Napoleon thought enough of her to hang her over his bed for four years.
That was way before it got stolen.
Still, the ripoff of the Gardner Museum in Boston was much worse IMHO.
