My Interview With Matt Tyrnauer, the Director of 'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood'


For MEL, I spoke with Matt Tyrnauer, whose latest documentary is about Scotty Bowers, an Illinois boy who moved to Los Angeles after World War II. Once he got to Hollywood he found his niche procuring same-sex partners for some of the industry's biggest stars. Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood profiles the now-95-year-old Bowers, but it also examines the hypocrisy of the movie business, which has for decades worked very hard to straight-wash its own history.
