À propos de cet audio
Newly discharged from the Marines after World War II, Scotty Bowers arrived in Hollywood in 1946. Young, charismatic, and strikingly handsome, he quickly caught the eye of many of the town's stars and starlets. He began sleeping with some himself, and connecting others with his coterie of young, attractive, and sexually free-spirited friends. His own lovers included Edith Piaf, Spencer Tracy, Vivien Leigh, Cary Grant, and the abdicated King of England Edward VIII, and he arranged tricks or otherwise crossed paths with Tennessee Williams, Charles Laughton, Vincent Price, Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Errol Flynn, Gloria Swanson, Noël Coward, Mae West, James Dean, Rock Hudson and J. Edgar Hoover, to name but a few.
Full Service is not only a fascinating chronicle of Hollywood's sexual underground, but also exposes the hypocrisy of the major studios, who used actors to propagate a myth of a conformist, sexually innocent America, knowing full well that their stars' personal lives differed dramatically from this family-friendly mold. As revelation-filled as Hollywood Babylon, Full Service provides a lost chapter in the history of the sexual revolution and is a testament to a man who provided sex, support, and affection to countless people.

Seems a Bit Far-fetched
Besides the dubious descriptions of consent and child sexual abuse, I confess that while this story is full of sordid details, one can't help but wonder how much truth is in the text. Or, like Hollywood, is most of this story a glitz and glamour frosting of a much sadder tale that choses to shock and awe rather than give a truthful portrayal of one man's voracious and legendary sexual escapades?
Also, if this story is more fact than fiction, the late legendary Scotty Bowers was a paradigm of a sexual person for having never felt jealous of his lovers, and his luck seemed to have followed him with long-term partners (some very much the "other person") who all seem far more understanding of his lifestyle than I'm prepared to believe.
The sexual forays if Golden Hollywood royalty are titillating, but the early years of Scotty's grooming, as well as his complacency in luring others to sex work, is actually quite disturbing.
Give it a listen if you like, just know there are possibly some sections (sex-tions) that are uncomfortable.

Salacious and Soulful
An extraordinary life very well written and told in a sometimes shockingly matter of fact manner.
It still conveys such humanity and non judgement to lifestyles and situations that would leave many scarred or feel victimized by.
A true maverick of sexual openness that will challenge even the most open minded in parts.

Loved it
Was really shocked at some of the content but honesty isn't always an easy thing to hear.
