I recently got to watch the hardcore version of THE LIFE AND TIMES OF XAVIERA HOLLANDER about thirty-five years after seeing it in a theater in north Florida. A character named "Xaviera Hollander" is played by Samantha McLaren ("McClearn" in the on-screen credits). Hollander's name without fear of libel or other legal action, and so far as I know they got away with it. The producers of this film apparently thought they could safely use Ms. She was a hot commodity in popular culture in the early 1970s, having recently published THE HAPPY HOOKER, and her image and pronouncements about sexual freedom were feeding the media's newly liberated interest in libidinous matters. First of all, Xaviera Hollander is NOT in this film.
