Tired Film Tropes: The Tart With a Heart

The "Tart With a Heart" or "Hooker With a Heart of Gold" is a stock character involving a courtesan or prostitute with a hidden integrity and kindness. The character, traditionally female, is usually an example of irony: an allegedly immoral woman who demonstrates virtues absent in a woman morally correct for the role. Some "Tart With a Heart" characters can fill a whole film, while others play minor parts in an otherwise non hooker‐related film. Such is the case with It's a Wonderful Life! Here are some examples of films employing the "Tart With a Heart" character trope. How many of these films have you seen???
