George Albert "Scotty" Bowers (July 1, 1923 – October 13, 2019), active from 1945 to 1980, was best known for procuring prostitutes for Hollywood industry insiders, many closeted about bisexual or homosexual liaisons. Bowers was described as having "a savant-like quality: a result of his refusal to be embarrassed by sex." Unconfirmed tales of his exploits circulated for years; Bowers eventually revealed his story after the studio-era Hollywood celebrities had died, claiming "the truth can't hurt them anymore." The 2012 publication of his memoir Full Service drew broad media attention. The subsequent documentary film Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood reunited Bowers with some of his hustlers shortly after the book's release.
