Scotty Bowers, who claimed to have been one of Hollywood’s most infamous hustlers and procurers, arranging illicit liaisons with both straight and gay film stars, often taking part in the sexual high jinks himself, died Oct. 13 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 96.

The death was confirmed by filmmaker Matt Tyrnauer, who made a 2017 documentary about Mr. Bowers, “Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood.” He did not specify a cause.

From the time he arrived in Hollywood in 1946, fresh out of the Marine Corps, Mr. Bowers became an active and, by his own account, eager participant in the film world’s underground sex life.

His first encounter, he said, came when he was pumping gas on Hollywood Boulevard, and a well-dressed man drove up in a Lincoln.

A friend of mine did the film editing for his bio-pic:
