Hollander has been portrayed in film four times:

- The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood, released in 1980, by Martine Beswick

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.
The real Hollander herself appears in at least two films:
- 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:
“If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.”
—Andy Warhol (c. 1928–1987)
“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
—Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
