In the new documentary Stty and the Secret History of Hollywood, former V.F. edor Matt Tyrner sh a light on the sexual fixer who tered to secretly gay Goln Age stars * the gay pimp *
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. 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.
