I saw the trailer for this and groaned. I thought the movie was OK, but maybe too dry? I should give it another try. My all time favorite sex worker in a movie is Joe Gillis from Sunset Boulevard and Norma Desmond makes such a great John! They are both so powerful and at odds, if only I can write characters that good...
I'm trying to think of a modern movie character that resonated with me that well... but here are some other greats off the top of my head:
Dallas - Stagecoach
Jill McBain - Once Upon a Time In the West
Gloria - Lost Weekend
Buck - Midnight Cowboy
Sera - Leaving Las Vegas
And of course Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman
