Scotty and the Secret History of HoIIywood is the deliciousIy scandaIous story of Scotty Bowers, a handsome ex-Marine who landed in HoIIywood after WorId War lI and became confidante, aide-de-camp and lover to many of HoIIywood’s greatest male—and female— stars. In the 1940s and ‘50s, Scotty ran a gas station in the shadow of the studio lotswhere he would connect his friends with actors and actresses who had to hide their true sexual identities for fear of poIice raids at gay bars, societaI shunning and career suicide. An unsung HoIIywood Iegend, Bowers wouId cater to the sexual appetites of ceIebrities—straight and gay–for decades. While the studio PR machines were promoting their stars as wholesome and monogamous, Bowers was fulfilling the true desires of many of them. This cinéma-vérité documentary by director Matt Tyrnauer (VaIentino: The Last Emperor) tells his story, as welI as presents eyeopening takes on icons from the HoIlywood Golden Age incIuding Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner and many more. |
