Now the subject of the hit documentary Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood, praised by Vanity Fair as “full of revelations” and Entertainment Weekly as “deliciously salacious,” Full Service is the remarkable true story of Scotty Bowers, the “gentleman hustler,” during the heyday of classic Hollywood. Newly discharged from the Marines after World War II, 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.

« Les mémoires de Scotty Bower, c'est un époustouflant récit de première main, qui raconte l'envers du décor de la vie à Hollywood, ses secrets d'alcôve dans les années 40 et 50. » Griffin Dunne acteur/ réalisateur -Peuplées de stars, écrites par celui qui coucha avec plusieurs parmi les plus éblouissantes d'entre elles , ces mémoires révèlent la vie sexuelle officieuse et secrète du Tout-Hollywood des années 40 à 80 et éclairent un pan entier de l'histoire de la révolution sexuelle.\nImmédiatement après avoir servi dans les Marines durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Scotty Bowers, jeune homme charismatique et remarquablement beau, arrive à Hollywood en 1946 et tape rapidement dans l'½il de nombreuses stars et starlettes de la ville. Dans cette ère puritaine, Scotty qui entretient un rapport au sexe et à la sexualité très en avance sur son époque, apprécie indifféremment la compagnie des hommes ou celle des femmes. Sa volonté de voir ses nouvelles relations du showbiz comblées sexuellement, le conduit à leur « arranger le coup » avec une coterie de jeunes et séduisants amis à lui, très libérés sexuellement. Travaillant en plein centre de Hollywood Boulevard, dans une station à essence, Scotty devint rapidement l'entremetteur idéal pour quiconque était à la recherche d'un partenaire sexuel sur mesure.\nÀ l'âge de trente ans, celui qui donne de sa personne tout en favorisant les rencontres sexuelles des « riches et célèbres » de Los Angeles, a déjà couché avec des milliers de personnes. Et bien plus innombrables encore, sont ceux et celles, dont il aura été le pourvoyeur. Il compte parmi ses partenaires : Edith Piaf, Spencer Tracy, Vivien Leigh, Cary Grant, ou Edouard VIII, le roi d'Angleterre qui a abdiqué ; et parmi les liaisons qu'il a suscitées : Tennessee Williams, Charles Laughton, Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Errol Flynn, Noël Coward, Mae West, James Dean, Rock Hudson et J. Edgar Hoover, pour n'en citer que quelques uns\nÉcrit avec beaucoup d'élégance, Full Service, offre au lecteur la vision d'une époque révolue - celle d'avant le Sida et du mouvement Gay de libération -, et tend à montrer que les racines de la révolution sexuelle puisent ses origines dans ce Los Angeles libéré de la belle époque des années 40 et 50.
