Big Stars and Blow Jobs: Inside the Most Gossipy Documentary in Years

This piece originally ran during the Toronto Film Festival.
When we first meet Scotty Bowers, the protagonist of the sure-to-make-headlines documentary Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood, heâs on the way to his 90th birthday party. Bowers gives his wife a farewell kiss, honks her breasts affectionately, and sets off for a penthouse at Hollywoodâs Chateau Marmont where, in short order, several hunks in underwear emerge holding a birthday cake shaped like a cock. Scottyâs smile is huge, and so is the cock.
Suffice it to say that while Bowers fought in World War II, Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood is not your typical Greatest Generation hagiography. Thatâs because shortly after the war ended, Bowers landed work at a Hollywood Boulevard gas station that he turned into a brothel to the stars using not much more than his good looks, easy smile, and equal-access sexual availability. Actor Walter Pidgeon was the first to hit him up, and from there, word spread fast among the best-known and best-looking people that Bowers could satisfy you for just 20 bucks, or at least hook you up with someone else who could. Bowers and the documentary are quick to tell you exactly which celebrities partook of his services and just what it was they were into, and those sexual reveals paint a picture of a closeted yet swinging Hollywood at odds with the carefully stage-managed PR narratives of this Golden Age of cinema.
Were there three-ways with Cary Grant and Randolph Scott? Check. Did Bowers have hotel assignations with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor? That was on the menu, too. By the time he recounts late nights steering women to Katharine Hepburn, then bedding Spencer Tracy next door, youâll start to think Bowers has done it all â or, to put a finer point on it, that heâs done just about everybody.
To say the least, this documentary is juicy and full of the sort of lines, casually tossed off by a still-spry Bowers, that would make any documentarianâs day. In the space of just two minutes, I jotted down four of those Bowers bon mots. Context is wholly unnecessary.
âI wanna suck 15 guys off, one after the other!â
âI fucked Bette Davis in World War II.â
âI went to bed with J. Edgar Hoover. He was in drag. Not a great beauty, either.â
âCary Grant just happened to be there. So I fixed him up with Rock Hudson for 20 bucks.â
âHeâs talking about what you donât usually hear older people talking about, which is sex,â director Matt Tyrnauer told me. But Bowers is hardly the lascivious granny thatâs a sitcom staple: He recounts his sexual escapades in the easy way you or I might talk about a Starbucks run. âAll these people lived in a society where homosexuality was shunned and they had to live lives in the shadows,â said Tyrnauer. âNow theyâve lived into a period of tremendous openness, by comparison, and itâs interesting to see.â
Not that Bowers, who is married, would necessarily describe himself as homosexual. âSome of these squares think, âOh my God, youâre weird, youâre different,ââ he recalls in the documentary. âLadies have said to me, âJust what are you?â I said, âIâm everything.ââ
Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood premiered at the Toronto Film Festival â and Bowers made the trek up north, his first time hopping on a plane in decades â but it hits theaters this week, so you can expect to hear plenty more about it in the year to come, given who the film talks about. Did Tyrnauer have any compunction about the private stories that are told in it, some of which were revealed in a recent book co-authored by Bowers, Full Service?
âI didnât find Scottyâs book to be offensive, in that it outed people,â said the director. âI think he was making a larger point about Hollywood and the hypocrisy of the period. A lot of people had diverse sexualities but were part of a system that insisted on putting out the âwhite picket fenceâ morality. Thatâs in the past.â
And though Tyrnauerâs documentary only deals with the sex lives of stars who have passed away â though one carefully worded mention of Clint Eastwoodâs âbuddy-buddyâ friendship with a male hustler raised my eyebrows â he thinks the closet is increasingly a thing of the past.
âI think weâve kind of moved past the outing debate in our culture,â he told me. âIt seems like itâs so â90s. Weâre lucky in the U.S. that weâve reach a point of openness, certainly since I was a kid. Itâs just a different world and people mostly donât feel like they have to hide their sexuality.â
If anything, at least Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood will have you looking at Turner Classic Movies in a whole different way ⊠and hopefully, itâll inspire you to reevaluate the elderly, too, once Bowers relates a life lived in full. âIn American culture, old people become invisible and I think thatâs very sad,â said Tyrnauer. âThe media is so geared toward its obsession with chasing youth, and I donât think people listen to old people. It would serve them very well to.â
When Scotty Bowers is talking, who wouldn't listen?

Hi! When I browse through the vids and pics that have been published here on GBT, it strikes me that so many of the guys acting have got at least 8 inches of cock (equal to about 20 cm). When checking out statistics, I find that the average size of a male Western cock is about 6 - 7 inches (equal to about 15 to 18 cm). These statistics are about grown up men. Is there a trend of younger males growing bigger penises, has it to do with what we eat or is there any other scientific reason that we are not aware of? Love to see a penis that is nicely cut. Is there a trend of choosing to omit circumcision too? That would be too bad, because I find the foreskin not very attractive (although I have one myself, rather short). Any comments welcome!
In need of some m2m fun, willing to try new things. Very discreet and open minded. Anyone near Alberton up for some nsa fun, please get in contact with me. I live alone so venue is no problem
Oh, my fucking God! Â Â This is SO beautiful and gorgeous!!! Â Â The top does such a good job commentating what's going on as he is about to, starts to, and making noise as he orgasms and shoots into the bottoms mouth down his throat!!!
Â
Tell about when you had to cum and just couldn't hold it any longer but weren't really ready to do so! Â Â Â Were you embarrassed? Â Â Did you get into any trouble or disappoint someone? Â Â Did you moan, groan, and yell breathing real hard frantically and desperately gasping for air? Â Â Did you thrust your hips really hard and or use your hand to stroke if you weren't fucking someone? Â Â
God damn! Â Â I am full of jealous rage! Â Â Any of you do this today?! Â Â :)

Hello, is the Mike 18 website down? or is it just my laptop not wanting to connect?
Â
Thanks
I used to have an account on Pornhub till they clean out all non-verified people which was so stupid. Now I created this one but the features on here a so limited. No loop play, no watch later, no like or dislike in the post, and you cannot create your own playlist. What do you guys think about adding more features...?
When you all find someone you would like to make love to how do you go about it? Â Â Do you take things slow? Â Â How do you let him know you are interested in him in a gay way? Â Â
HEY ANYONE KNOW OF ANY HOMEADE OR HOUSEHOLD ITEMS I COULD USE AS A DILDO? OR SOMETHING THAT FEELS GOOD INSIDE MY ANUS? THANKS
