Along with depictions in The Right Stuff, the club was also immortalized in Lauren Kessler's biography of Barnes, The Happy Bottom Riding Club. Barnes' life was chronicled in a 2009 documentary film for PBS member station KOCE-TV, entitled The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club.
The Club’s destruction by fire in 1953 is seen by many to mark the end of a Golden Era in post-WWII aviation. In the same fashion Pancho herself has become something of a legend, a fascinating yet enigmatic icon whose swagger is often celebrated, but whose story is largely unknown.
The film features interviews with many of Pancho Barnes' surviving friends including astronaut Buzz Aldrin and test pilots Robert Cardenas, Bob Hoover and Chuck Yeager. Biographers Lauren Kessler and Barbara Schultz also appear in the documentary. The film is narrated by Tom Skerritt, with Kathy Bates as the voice of Pancho Barnes.
