Full Service: My Adventures in H'wood & The Secret Sex Life of the Stars.

[robberbaron4u]

Rumour has it that Eugene Walter. who deceased in 1998, had completed at the time of his death the manuscript for a "tell-all" biography, based on the life of a notorious rentboy of his acquaintance, which in its content would have put Mr. Capote's "Answered Prayers" in the genre of a Ladies Home Journal serialization. Again, by rumour, Walter, in his writing of the thing, had not hesitated in exposing the notables serviced by the young man, who was posssessed of "a smile that glistened like the sun in tropic isles", a "gigantic cock", and, in his sensuousness, was the proverbial "walking streak of sex"

Reminds me of Bette Midler.....

 

As in...

 

"I am the harbinger of news!!!"....... "I slept with Jack Kennedy!!!".... and then, "Want to know what else??".... "They slept with Jack Kennedy!!" pointing to the Harlettes...

 

"Talk about your Bay of Pigs, really."

 

Tons of rumors about big stars..... Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Taylor, Alan Ladd, Tyrone Power, Crawford, Cary Grant, Randolph Scott etc, etc, etc... just like nowadays with Jodie Foster, Tom Cruise, John Travolta....etc,etc, etc.....

 

Hmmmm......?

My name finally came up at the library, so I have Full Service in my hands. You can imagine the wait to get this book out here. Having read some 100 pages, I am finding it a stretch of the credibility to think he had all of these opportunities.

But maybe once you get your dick in the door...

 

He claims that at one time when he was roughly 13, he was servicing 20 Chicago priests. To believe him, just about everyone wanted some underage sex. He'd shine the shoes of the men playing poker, then one by one they would come into a room and jerk off with him. After he leaves the marines, his former Marine buddies made themselves available to turn tricks in Hollywood. It's a bit much if I am to believe it all.

It's a bit much if I am to believe it all.

 

Sounds like a perfect jacket credit! Thanks for the reminder. I'm sure it's a fun read.

Neither pedophile priests nor horny marines strike me as beyond belief.

But that he would know them all?

I read the book months ago but have put off commenting on it. FWIW It is obvious he hired a collaborator to write up the profiles on all the famous people he tells tales about; the commentary on individual stars sounds like a Hollywood press release.

 

It is obvious he was most of the time hired to wait tables and serve drinks at the homes of the Hollywood greats. It is somewhat incongruous how he describes slipping from the role of server to male escort and confidant so effortlessly.

 

He is always careful to describe his role as facilitator but not pimp, never accepting money for arranging trysts with the stars from his stable of hustlers. What a philanthropist!

 

He makes a major boo-boo when he refers to the Duke of Windsor as "Eddie". His name was David and he was called that all his life by his friends and family. He was only called "Edward" as his formal title as King of England. His brother Bertie, short for Albert, became George VI but he was always called Bertie by his family and friends. Only an American outsider would fail to know this so I think his tales about "Eddie" are made-up. Which may be the case for a lot of other tales in this book as well, or at least heavily embellished.

 

But hey, as I said before, you can't libel the dead so no-one can sue him.

 

The author states on page 135 that the Duke told him to call him Edward, which he then shortened to Eddy with no objection from the Duke. The whole story of this Nazi being gay and renouncing the throne to live with a beard is hard to take though.
