From spending nights with Spencer Tracy to providing girls to Katherine Hepburn, Scotty Bowers documentary bares all

At a time when being different was considered taboo, one man showed Hollywood how to have fun on the sly

With the advent of the #MeToo movement in Hollywood, many skeletons were revealed in the movie industry's vast history of debauchery. One name that came to epitomise Hollywood sexcapades for over forty years was Scotty Bowers, 96, who not only facilitated stars to act out their sexual proclivities but also participated with them (he claims to have had a three some with Ava Gardner and Lana Turner).

Bowers is the subject of a newly released documentary that reveals way more than anyone outside of the industry was expecting, and those inside it were fearing.

 

From secretive meet-ups at cheap motels to watching other people having a quickie through a peephole to taking part in star-studded orgies, 'Scotty and the Secret History of  Hollowood' is a collection of salacious details from the closet of Scotty Bowers, who many called "the pimp to the stars."

Bowers' story began as a farm boy in Illinois, was subjected to the Depression in the 1930s and took off after he returned from WWII after fighting as a marine.
