 hooker
During the US Civil war, General Hooker’s troops were stationed in Washington and were apparently so fond of easy women that the red light district became known as Hooker’s Division.
While this is true, the word hooker was used before the Civil War, so the title was probably intended as a joke with a double meaning at the time.
Garner’s “hooker with a heart” is short for the “hooker with a heart of gold”, a character popularized by late nineteenth century author Bret Harte, whose stories sentimentally depicted the American West.

 The Austin Chronicle Film Listings
The movie takes a recurrent narrative theme -- the hooker with a heart of gold -- and mixes it up with a suburban setting and a bunch of adolescent boys, one of whom, Frank (Carter), decides that this prostitute named V (Griffith) would make a perfect mate for his widowed dad (Harris).
Of course this is a PG-13-friendly hooker and a suburbia straight out of Norman Rockwell.
When three 12-year-old boys hanker to see a real, live, naked woman (instead of the diagrams they've been studying in biology class), they pool together their loose change (which amounts to $103) and ride their bicycles into the big city where they've heard such things can be purchased.

She was a hooker, yes, but she was a tasteful hooker.

Never mind that she doesn't eat right and screws anyone who'll pay: She's cute and clean -- not scrawny and skanky like the hookers you really see on Hollywood Boulevard -- with unblemished skin and fabulous hair.

The Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) on October 18 gave its highest honor to Los Angeles paralegal Erin Brockovich, best known for her beatification in the allegedly "based on a true story" film of the same name.
Julia Roberts portrayed her as having the mouth of a hooker and a heart of gold, but the Hollywood Brockovich is bunk, and this is not Harvard's finest hour.
The California Cancer Registry showed no excess cancer in Hinkley compared to surrounding counties, despite the claim of Brockovich and her law firm that residents suffered terribly high rates from exposure to chromium-6 in drinking water.

Maybe it was the hardboiled detective genre that didn't work for me -- the tired "cherchez la femme"; the plot device of starting at the end; the wiseguy romantic who wanted to be a knight in shining armor; the bad Titanic-like music that I'm certain was intended to be bad.
Maybe it was too much of a cliche that the hooker with the heart of gold wanted to leave the big city life in central Maine and return to Minnesota.

The two most hackneyed, over-used character types in Hollywood are the former hero who has become an alcoholic, and the former reverend who has lost his faith.
(Running a very close third is the hooker with a heart of gold.) Fortunately, this movie is refreshingly free of alcoholics and hookers.

Movies that could be classified as women's pictures—such as Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974, FGC 8517-8522), Norma Rae (1979) [catalog record], Terms of Endearment (1983) [catalog record], Places in the Heart (1984) [catalog record], Sleepless in Seattle (1993) [catalog record], and The First Wives Club (1996) [catalog record]—are well represented in the division's holdings.
Harkening back to the days of silent serials, women appropriated the role of action heroes in many contemporary films, among them Alien (1979) [catalog record], The Terminator (1984) [catalog record], and Thelma and Louise (1991) [catalog record], but more often they appeared as appendages to male stars.
As recently as Pretty Woman (1990) [catalog record], Mighty Aphrodite (1995, DAA 3270), and Leaving Las Vegas (1995) [catalog record], the cliché of the “hooker with a heart of gold” has been a central characterization.
