Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars

The legendary hustler of Old Hollywood reveals thirty years of scandalous secrets in this tell-all memoir of Tinseltown’s X-rated underworld.

Newly discharged from the Marines after World War II, Scotty 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 sexually free-spirited friends. For decades, he kept their explosive secrets under wraps—but now he tells all in Full Service.

Scotty’s own lovers included Edith Piaf, Spencer Tracy, Vivien Leigh, Cary Grant, and the abdicated King of England Edward VIII. He arranged tricks or otherwise crossed paths with Tennessee Williams, Charles Laughton, Vincent Price, Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Errol Flynn, Gloria Swanson, Noël Coward, Mae West, James Dean, Rock Hudson and J. Edgar Hoover, to name but a few.

A fascinating chronicle of Hollywood’s sexual underground, Full Service also exposes the hypocrisy of the studio system that propagate a myth of a conformist, sexually innocent America. Scotty Bowers provides a vital lost chapter in the history of the sexual revolution.
