Scotty Bowers, sexual procurer for Hollywood's closeted stars, dies at 96
Scotty Bowers, who claimed to have been one of Hollywood's most infamous hustlers and procurers, arranging illicit liaisons with straight and gay film stars, often taking part in the sexual high jinks himself, died Oct. 13 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 96.
From the time he arrived in Hollywood in 1946, fresh out of the Marine Corps, Bowers became an active and, by his own account, eager participant in the film world's underground sex life.
"I was setting up an average of 15-20 tricks a day," Bowers noted in his book, written with Lionel Friedberg. "This was a 24/7 operation, extending over a period of, say, 30 to 40 years. As for tricks that I performed personally, I was often seeing two or three people a day."
He also arranged for female companions for male actors Bob Hope, Desi Arnaz and William Holden, among others. Arnaz's wife, Lucille Ball, once saw Bowers at a party and punched him in the face.
