The Happy Hooker: My Own Story[1] is a best-selling memoir by Xaviera Hollander, a call girl, published in 1971.[2][3] It sold over 20 million[4] copies. Robin Moore, who took Hollander's dictations of the book's contents, came up with the title, while Yvonne Dunleavy ghostwrote it.[5][6] In an interview published in 2019, Hollander said Dunleavy "was the one who wrote the book. They taped me, simply asking questions about my life and had the chapters spewed out in about three months. She wrote it, he edited it. He tried in vain to write a chapter, it was a piece of shit".[7]
