Behind Tinseltown's glitzy facade loomed the specter of Hollywood's "sexual gestapo," a designation coined by Matt Tyrnauer, director of the documentary Scotty and the Confidential History of Hollywood (via NPR). "It was very difficult," he said, "for people to possess authentic lives." And Tyrnauer should know: His clip profiled L.A. personality Scotty Bowers, who reportedly acted as a "confidante, companion, and pimp for Hollywood's closeted movie stars."
