Now the subject of the hit documentary Scotty and the Secret
History of Hollywood, praised by Vanity Fair as "full of
revelations" and Entertainment Weekly as "deliciously salacious,"
Full Service is the remarkable true story of Scotty Bowers, the
"gentleman hustler," during the heyday of classic Hollywood. Newly
discharged from the Marines after World War II, Bowers arrived in
Hollywood in 1946. Young, charismatic, and strikingly handsome, he
quickly caught the eye of many of the town's stars and starlets. He
began sleeping with some himself, and connecting others with his
coterie of young, attractive, and sexually free-spirited friends.
His own lovers included Edith Piaf, Spencer Tracy, Vivien Leigh,
Cary Grant, and the abdicated King of England Edward VIII, and he
arranged tricks or otherwise crossed paths with Tennessee Williams,
Charles Laughton, Vincent Price, Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth,
Errol Flynn, Gloria Swanson, Noel Coward, Mae West, James Dean,
Rock Hudson and J. Edgar Hoover, to name but a few. Full Service is
not only a fascinating chronicle of Hollywood's sexual underground,
but also exposes the hypocrisy of the major studios, who used
actors to propagate a myth of a conformist, sexually innocent
America knowing full well that their stars' personal lives differed
dramatically from this family-friendly mold. As revelation-filled
as Hollywood Babylon, Full Service provides a lost chapter in the
history of the sexual revolution and is a testament to a man who
provided sex, support, and affection to countless people.
