Two years ago, Stty Bowers—the Los Angel htler who claimed to have hooked Old Hollywood’s biggt stars up wh willg sexual partners, gay and straight—was the subject of a fascatg documentary, Stty and the Secret History of Hollywood.

THE GAY PIMP OF OLD HOLLYWOOD

Homosexualy was not legalized California until the 1970s; Bowers’s operatn allegedly helped untls men and women dulge sexually whout endangerg their reers, reputatns, or, some s, marriag. And no one seemed to have a problem, whether they were gay, straight, or otherwise, wh what Stty was askg.

He worked at a gas statn on the rner of North Van Ns Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, out of which, he says, he and a dre of his male and female iends serviced Hollywood celebri—many of them closeted homosexuals. They provid a safety zone for people whose reers would have been ed if the tth about them emerged the s before gay rights and the AIDS crisis.

Hungarian pimps forced young gay men to work as sex slav New York Cy and Miami, thori three victims turned tricks for up to 20 hours a day a cramped Gotham apartment where as many as eight men lived and worked, the Miami Herald reported.

GAY PIMP

He meets Walter Pidgeon at a gas statn that he ns, wds up at a pool party, and is soon workg at arrangg clients for gay and closeted men, many of them high on the movie-makg ngs. The book (which I have not read) might make for an easier, more lear journey, yet this is a nfint but by Zagar and a subtle one that should ronate wh a lot of gay and noon-gay dienc. If you're a gay man.
