- George Albert "Scotty" Bowers was an American who was a United States Marine and, from the 1940s to the 1980s, a Hollywood pimp. Stories of his exploits circulated for many years and were alluded to in books such as the notoriously unreliable Hollywood Babylon. Bowers’ claims were met with both praise and skepticism.

What a read! I bought it at the famous Book soup in Hollywood before Scotty became famous with his tour and DVD release. I met Scotty 1 year before his passing. We had lunch at the Chateau Marmont and what a great terrific guy! He answered every question about Hollywood i had. His handlers did mention Scotty loved talking about his life and he was obviously a lover of life.....FYI: When Scotty kept mentioning Matt Tyrnaur, it must of been an inside joke since Matt was the director of the DVD of Scotty's life. I believe Scotty was just having fun!...It was one of my great moments knowing Mr. Bowers!....RIP Scotty.
You are right about Scotty mentioning Matt Tyrnaur. When we were filming the Skip's interview with Scotty, Matt was filming his documentary of Scotty on Skips show... so Matt was in the same room.
@@romeocareycontent1988 I’ve watched tons of videos over the years of Skip interviewing stars he knew and some he didn’t know personally but each and every interview is a gem. I have a deep respect for Skip, I enjoy his style of interviewing and to be frank I wish I could’ve met him, I think he would’ve liked me, just a strange feeling. I do know a few ppl in the business who like me, for many reasons. At any rate, to the uploader, I appreciate all that you do, more than you might imagine. Thank you.
Skip Lowe is a low brow, jealous, back stabbing, amateur Nelly gossip in his interview style whereas Scotty Bowers is a gem of a guy.
The Skip E I knew was not those things. Excentric? Yes. Lousy interviewer? Yes. I miss him.
Skip lowe is who Martin short-based his character Jimny Glick
@@itkapatanka *Eccentric?
*lowbrow
Skip was terrible. He did not open up.
Skip Lowe keeps interrupting Scotty Bowers! Obnoxious 😵💫
I think it is an obnoxious person.
He lived seven more years with a good quality, incredible good looking and strong man.RIP.
I don't know. He looks kind of ordinary. Maybe it was his other asset they liked.
What an annoying interviewer is this Skip Lowe! Every time Scotty gets 3 or 4 words into answering, he is interrupted before we can hear any new juicy details. Lowe doesn't even ask good questions. He covers material we've all heard before.
Then don't watch him
The most annoying! He was so damn into himself & getting his own 'I know it all, too' comments in that he never lets his subject finish a sentence...
Yes I agree. Shame as Scotty had so many interesting stories to tell.
Eighty-nine with the mind of a 40 year old. If I have to live that long I hope I'm still that sharp.
Wow this gentleman Scotty was very well spoken, calm and serene!!! The interviewer sucks!!!
Lowe never shuts up!! And consequently, he constantly, interrupts & never lets the subject finish a sentence...
@@linatortorella5424 I agree!
I can see where Martin Short uses Skip's persona, in part, to create Jiminy Cricket. Lowe is too self-absorbed to allow the conversation to flow; he constantly interrupts his guest, Scotty Bowers, to control the interview. The old queen does this with all of his guests.
Gary Grant, let's talk about Gary Grant. 🤣
I cracked up when his phone rang. The only Jiminy thing he didn't do was stuff a donut in his face.
I believe Martin Short created Jiminy Glick while some folks at Disney studios created Jiminy Cricket.
I knew Scotty and his wife Lois...what an intriguing duo. Lois died a few years ago and then shortly after Scotty passed. ♥️♥️♥️
My heart always broke for poor Betty after reading his book. She must have loved him more than she loved herself.
@@gobnaitaine5103 why? He was bisexual. Why does it matter?
@@tula1433 Its got nothing to do with him being bisexual. It's the fact he constantly cheated on her and he had no time for Betty or his daughter. Read the book and you will understand.
She sounds like a doormatt. But I'm not sure how many of Scottys tales I believe
Lucky you. I would have loved to meet Scotty. Fascinating guy & his wife seemed so sweet. One thing I did not like, when he dumped his friend's cremains, the friend who had left him by 2 properties, how his cremains were unceremoniously dumped by Scotty through a rotten floorboard of his back deck. He should have done better by his friend who obviously loved him very much and was so generous to him.
What a personality Scottie Bowers was! He lived amazing experiencies as a teen-ager and in the army. He was free sexually and helped people to live freely sexually and happily as well 💖
Scotty should have explained that guy he keeps bringing up. As he died last year, I suppose that book will never be published. You need oxygen to talk with Skip. He flits all over the place like an annoying buzzing bee. You can't answer a question before he's off to something else. Interviewing is not his natural forte. But, how about these old geezers and their hair, and no glasses? That's a pretty goog accomplishment. Too bad the skin just keeps on growing, especially under the jawline.
I knew Scotty near the end of his life. I also knew the priest who was a dear friend and a client (and also wrote the first book on Christianity & the Homosexual) as well as other friends. Everything he said was quite true. My interest was in a pioneer Queer artist who was also a friend of Scotty & who Scotty hooked up with his models and tricks. I intend to write the first full biography of the artist and Scotty will feature in his story.
Both men were instrumental in my learning about my biography subject Barbara Payton's final years in Hollywood. The information they shared about Barbara was devastatingly sad, but they knew her and I believe them.
I keep reading about how sad Barbara Payton's life was in the end but, no details on how and why. Would you expound a bit, please??
I really enjoyed this "interview" (if that's what you call it) I know a lot of people are complaining in the comments section about Skip E. Lowe's style but I found it immensely entertaining.
Well said!
I just love this interview! Yeah, I know that Skip is talking over Scotty, but it feels more like a kitchen table conversation, and I like that!
Kinda funny to hear a 90 year old refer to someone as a "loser"! I guess some slang is eternal rather than generational.
I think he meant in the real sense and not as an insult
Is Skip Lowe the elderly person interviewing Scott Bowers? Are they the template/inspiration for Jiminy Glick?
Skip still has that fabulous hair!!!!! Always flawless!
Love both personalities, I am thoroughly enjoying this interview!
I love Scotty! What an amazing character! I would have loved meeting him. Thanks for the great video😊
Everything in the book was okay EXCEPT the "TMI" about Charles Laughton. YECK!!!!
It's a terrible shame that he cast judgement and called her a loser.
Loved his juicy book.
Scotty is smooth
How hilarious it would be if Scotty had said @6:30 "... like you, Skip."
Is Lowe male or female?
Yes.
@@johnfd0210 😆 🤣
Male
In the words of Beverly LaSalle “Yes!”
skip lowe seems a little out of it.
What year was this filmed? Fascinating story!
Truth Seeker Scotty died in 2019 at 96 years of age, so this would have been around 2011 (he’s 88 here). We lost Skip a few years back as well.
2011
Skip Lowe died on September 22 2014
The old queen interviewer is annoying. I love the book.
I would venture to say this is Skippy 's best show ever. I would see his show on public access tv in L A but could never change the channel fast enough. This episode I just watched in its entirety. Despite Skippy stepping all over Scotty.
dish the dirt ! Hollywood Babylon !
Whos Matt Tyrnauer?
He made the Scotty documentary. Scotty was joking about writing a book about him
She's terrible at interviews. She speaks too many answers..He should have felt free to tell stories.Its history. He should do another interview. With a man.O that was a man??? I think?
Lol. First face you see is Mickey Rooney, one of the biggest players in the business.
Skip E Lowe was a great person; just wish he would let the guy talk. Also wish Scotty could have expounded more on each star more than "I knew him, he was a great guy and he lived on ..."
Who ARE these guys!!! They're both fascinating!
Scotty Bowers and Skip E. Lowe are pioneering Hollywood gay icons.
James Franco?! #lmao
That intro of Mickey Rooney, sad to say I saw that as a kid, I think he was Puck, it was about fairies and such, Shakespeare. Didn't really like it. I have to say I don't like Skip, he's a sensationalist, and rather impatient. He didn't understand about men having sex with men, and going home to wife and kids. Rather small brained of him/her.
Love both.
Bunch of bums/most stars are long gone an can;t defend themselves of what he says bout them/not rite of Scotty an this other guy [Lowe]
Well suppose Bowers had written his book in the 70s when most of these stars still alive? That would have made him a real heel. But like he said, he waited until they had passed and the truth can't possibly hurt them.
That's how you do an interview
Terrible interviewing style. Amateurish at best. Goggle Jiminy glick - that's this shit; Lowe
I wonder if Jiminy Glick was based on this guy? All the idiosyncrasies are in view here.
@@barryobrien7935 Indeed, Jiminy Glick was based on Skip E Lowe.
Ex ex@@MrThesper
@@laurasinai9008 What do you mean by "Ex ex"??
