I don't recall if Scotty Bowers, Hollywood's infamous "male madam" of the 40's and 50's has been mentioned here before, but his autobiography "Full Service" (he and his stable of men were known for working out of a Hollywood service station) is coming out this month. Scotty is very much alive. (And no, I'm in no way a promoter of the book).

Scotty's book sounds as though it will be quite an eye-opener. The recent photos of Madam Brenda Allen (hope I spelled her name correctly) made me think that the two of them would certainly have been aware of each other, although they served a very different clientele.
