Hustling is a 1975 American television film directed by Joseph Sargent based on a book about prostitution by Gail Sheehy.[1] The film stars Jill Clayburgh as Wanda[2] ("Redpants"), alongside Lee Remick, while its script is written by Fay Kanin.[3]
Jill Clayburgh credited the film as important in her career. "It changed my career,” Clayburgh said. “It was a part that I did well, and suddenly people wanted me. Sidney Furie saw me, and wanted me for Gable and Lombard."[4] Her performance in the TV film eventually earned her an Emmy nomination.[5]
