Characteristics This character is often a pivotal, but peripheral, character in literature and motion pictures,  usually giving key advice or serving as a go-between. She is sometimes established in  contrast to another female character who is morally perfect but frigid or otherwise  unyielding. Hookers with hearts of gold are sometimes reluctant prostitutes selling their  bodies due to either desperation or coercion from a  pimp . The stereotype might owe  something of a debt to certain traditions surrounding the  Biblical  figures of  Mary Magdalene and  Rahab , or to the ancient  Indian theatrical  tradition of  Sanskrit drama  where  Śudraka 's  play  Mṛcchakatika  ( The Little Clay Cart ) featured a  nagarvadhu  (courtesan) with a heart of  gold named Vasantasena. [ 2 ]  But this stock character is pervasive enough in various myths  and cultures in the form of a tragic story of the concubine who falls in love with her patron/ client or, alternatively, young and often poor lover. Therefore, this might be considered not  just an archetype but also fairly universal, and somewhat indicative of various societies'  complex ideas about segxwal decency and moral character. A variation on the theme, the dancer (stripper) with a heart of gold, is a tamer version of  the character. A  stripper  is a  sex worker  but not a prostitute. Historically, the social positions of dancers and actresses were low and their moral characters were often considered suspect. In opera and musical theater, a hooker with a heart of gold is most often portrayed by a  mezzo-soprano . She is portrayed in a tragic light and often dies a tragic death. One notable  exception is the heroine of  Giuseppe Verdi 's  La traviata , Violetta Valery, portrayed by a  soprano . In television history, the  "tart with a heart"  has become an important archetype in serial  drama and  soap opera , especially in  Britain . During the 1960 s, the character of  Elsie Tanner in British series  Coronation Street  set the mold for future characters such as  Bet Lynch  (also  Coronation Street ) and  Kat Slater  ( EastEnders ). Characters of this nature are often depicted  as having tragic lives, but put on a front when in public to create the illusion of happiness.  More often than not, these female characters are vital to their respective shows, and  inevitably become some of the biggest stars in British Television. [ citation needed ] The hooker with a heart of gold is also a prominent character in many American  western  movies . In  The Usual Suspects , detective Dave Kujan says to Roger "Verbil" Kint: "...so don't  sell me the hooker with a heart of gold."
