The Happy Hooker: My Own Story[1] is a best-selling memoir by Xaviera Hollander, a call girl, published in 1971.
Robin Moore, who took Hollander's dictations of the book's contents, came up with the title, while Yvonne Dunleavy ghostwrote it.
They taped me, simply asking questions about my life and had the chapters spewed out in about three months.
[7] Hollander's book inspired a series of movies, starting with The Happy Hooker (1975), which starred Lynn Redgrave.
[10] In the sequels the role of Hollander was played by Joey Heatherton and Martine Beswick respectively.
