Scotty Bowers: This Man Knew So Much in Hollywood | Hollywood Nation

Date: 08/01/2022

Scotty Bowers was an American who was a United States Marine and, from the 1940s to the 1980s, a Hollywood pimp. Stories of his exploits circulated for many years and were alluded to in books such as the notoriously unreliable Hollywood Babylon. Bowers’ claims were met with both praise and skepticism.

Bowers decided to talk publicly about his life when most of the people involved were dead and, in his words, "The truth can’t hurt them anymore." In 2012, the publication of his memoir Full Service, written by Lionel Friedberg from 150 hours of interviews, drew publicity, including a profile in The New York Times, and a feature on CBS News Sunday Morning. One journalist wrote, "He has a savant-like quality: a result of his refusal to be embarrassed by sex."
