An X-rated film, The Life And Times Of Xaviera Hollander, was also produced and released in the early 1970s. But as of the middle of August 2012, it was not known exactly who impersonated Hollander in that film.

- My Pleasure is my Business (1975) by Al Waxman at the Internet Movie Database
- Xaviera Hollander, the Happy Hooker: Portrait of a Sexual Revolutionary (2008) by Robert Dunlap at the Internet Movie Database

Famous quotes containing the word films:
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
