Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), better known as Andy Warhol, was an American artist and a central figure in the movement known as Pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, an avant-garde filmmaker, a record producer, an author, and a public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats. A controversial figure during his lifetime (his work was often derided by critics as a hoax, or "put-on"), Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, feature and documentary films since his death in 1987.

The (exploding plastic) inevitable answer is:
Andy Warhol

JFK

You can't ever go wrong with Elvis or Maryln Monroe.

elvis would be one to be considered

Elvis Presley
The Beatles
Marilyn Monroe

During the first half of that period, Frank Sinatra was pop culture.

Bob Dylan is another who comes to mind.
