FOR
IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Fort
Lauderdale
International
Film
Festival
Presents
An Evening
With The
Happy Hooker
- Xaviera
Hollander
March 1 at
Cinema Paradiso.
“In
every era, there are just a
handful of individuals who
change the way we think or
act. Xaviera Hollander did
not invent sex: she was one
of the leading spirits who
brought it out of the
closet.” (xavierahollander.com).
 (Fort
Lauderdale, FL) Fort Lauderdale
International Film Festival presents An
Evening with Xaviera Hollander, the most
famous Madame of “the world’s oldest
profession,” author, Penthouse columnist,
performer, raconteur, and theatrical
entrepreneur. Hollander is a lecturer and
has been a guest of talk show hosts Larry
King, Sally Jesse Raphael, Selina Scott, and
the popular BBC show Hard Talk. Subsequent
to the best selling novel The Happy Hooker
(over 16 million copies sold), Hollander has
written seventeen books, both fiction and
non-fiction, which have been translated into
14 different languages.
What sort of woman became the most
influential "Madam" in New York? Guests will
learn of her early childhood in a Japanese
concentration camp (during WWII) with her
parents and their return to Holland, her
bisexually curious teen years, her
beginnings with her own call-girl agency,
and how she went on to legendary status.
 In
the year 2000 her beloved Mother passed
away. Xaviera who had not written any new
books for the past 14 years, suddenly was
aware of the fact that she was a child no
more and based on her memories and her
adventures with her parents she started to
write the ultimate biography of her family
with that title. It was her mother, who
lifted Xaviera's writer’s block, by asking
her daughter on her deathbed to write about
her own family rather than about sex. And so
CHILD NO MORE , a memorial to her parents,
was created. Harper Collins has published
this book in combination with a reprint of
the Happy Hooker.
Xaviera continues to write and is presently
working on a new autobiography called WALL
TALK - if only the walls (of her Bed &
Breakfast) could talk
Today, Xaviera owns and books rentals for
two magnificent residences; one is a villa
in Marbella, Spain and the other is a
flourishing Bed and Breakfast in Amsterdam.
Both are gay friendly and a true center for
artists, writers, musicians and friends from
all walks of life.
The
event will be held Monday, March 1 at Cinema
Paradiso, beginning at 6:30pm with the
feature film The Happy Hooker, starring –
Lynn Redgraves stars as the Dutch ingénue
Xaviera Hollander in New York. At
