* ''Series/{{Glee}}'' may not be set in the 1950's, but Quinn Fabray fits the description. Outside of her cheerleading uniform, she's nearly always seen wearing knee-length skirts or fifties-style circle dresses, she's from a very conservative Christian family and is president of the celibacy club. However, she's a manipulative AlphaBitch and in the fourth episode, it's revealed she's pregnant, after cheating on her boyfriend.

She seems to be the perfect, wholesome teenage girl of TheFifties. By day, she's a sweet, innocent ultra-virgin who dresses in knee-length skirts and [[SexySweaterGirl tasteful sweaters]], and repeatedly says things like "that's swell!" and "peachy keen!". She might [[{{Meganekko}} wear glasses]], attend [[CatholicSchoolGirlsRule Catholic school]], or even be a PreachersKid. Her parents and teachers talk about what a "good girl" she is, but all the kids at school (except for the "squares", of course) know about her "reputation". By night, she drinks, smokes, and hangs out with (gasp!) boys. She "parks" with them, while the car radio plays {{Nothing But Hits}}, and may even have experienced sexual intercourse. (And if she ''is'' still a virgin, she may only be one in [[TechnicalVirgin the technical sense.]]) In other words, she's either something of a Hot {{Hypocrite}} or at the very least something rather different from what she appears to be. After all, she doesn't want to be a "square" and the male hero needs a girlfriend that ''appears'' respectable but isn't a prude. Bonus points if her mother or grandmother was a [[TheFlapper flapper]], teaching their daughters and granddaughters the way of sly rebellion and liberation.

* Mary Lane of ''Film/ReeferMadness'', the ingenue of ingenues, takes one puff of "marijewana," at which point... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FqaOVz3dYE&feature=related Some things just need to be seen.]]

* Then there was the aforementioned Mary Hill in Billy Joe Royal's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5xkaQenW6s Cherry Hill Park]]"[[note]]"Cherry Hill Park" being in Cherry Hill, [[{{Joisey}} New Jersey]], the quintessential Jersey suburb (of UsefulNotes/{{Philadelphia}}, in this case). It's in the area marked "Happy White Families" [[http://i.imgur.com/Pwnf4.jpg here]].[[/note]] It's a fantastically catchy '60s pop tune that deals with something potentially salacious.

* Gender inverted with Cry Baby's brother from the [[Music/CryBaby self-titled]] Music/MelanieMartinez ConceptAlbum. He looks like an average, studious young man but is a drug user with implied negative (or at least depressive) character traits. The entire family keeps up a [[StepfordSmiler facade]] [[HappyMarriageCharade of happiness]] but Cry Baby herself is a BrokenBird. She [[SanitySlippage cracks]] over the album.

* Marty's mother Lorraine in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' wants to be this, to Marty's understandable alarm. Not only is she Marty's ''mother'', but she [[ParentalHypocrisy hypocritically]] also berates her children for acting this way in the future (at least until Marty improves history).
