See the reason it's hard for me to find a female lead for this is because you need someone who can act humble, act like they have low self esteem and act like they really are a sweet person underneath th hooker job!  The problem with a lot of starlets now-a-days is that they are really confident and a lot of movies portray these women being super confident and in charge (which is a great thing for society to see - but not great for this type of movie)

Self confident in that she knew she was good at her job with a  certain toughness - she wouldn't kiss but still a certain softness then later vulnerability without being weak.

Anyone I can think of would be super confident like you said -or- too vulnerable.

The actress who had the lead in "Becoming Jane" could pull it off to a certain extent but I think she might be a bit too vulnerable...I'm not sure. We'll just have to audition her to find out!    : )
