Xaviera Hollander, "The Happy Hooker": Portrait Of A Sexual Revolutionary



XAVIERA HOLLANDER, 'THE HAPPY HOOKER': PORTRAIT OF A SEXUAL REVOLUTIONARY is a documentary about one of the world's most important sexual icons and the woman behind the legend who became the most famous madam of all time. Interviews with Larry King and commentary from America's foremost sexologists explore Xaviera's rise and fall, her deportation from the United States and her political significance to the Feminist Movement and Sexual Revolution of the 1970's.

'What becomes an erotic legend most? Longevity. Sex symbols have notoriously short shelf-lives, and the few that endure loom large in our pop-culture consciousness: Liz, Marilyn, Madonna. In an age of fleeting sexperts and flavor-of-the-month porno queens, it's nothing short of remarkable that after 30 years Xaviera Hollander is still a household name.' - The Washington Post
