'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood' amongst nine exclusive first-run documentaries acquired by Starz

The documentaries will begin premiering in August and continue into December and will cover a broad spectrum of topics.

Starz has announced that it acquired nine exclusive first-run documentaries for the network — 'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood,' 'Rebels on Pointe,' 'Land of the Free,' 'Getting Naked: A Burlesque Story,' 'Half the Picture,' 'This Is Congo,' 'Ferrari: Race to Immortality,' 'Always at the Carlyle,' and 'Fail State.' The documentaries will premiere August through December. 'Rebels on Pointe' will be the first to premiere on August 20.

The star attraction, however, would be Matt Tyrnauer's scandalous and controversial 'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood.' The documentary chronicles the life of Scotty Bowers, a handsome ex-Marine who lands in Hollywood after the Second World War and becomes the confidant, aide-de-camp and lover to many of Hollywood's greatest male – and female – stars.
