Time is a gift. It's not a curse. If I live to be their age I'll feel blessed.

Skip's guest Scotty Bowers has quite the ageless voice for an 89 year old! He could have easily transitioned into voiceover even at that age. Great interview and crisp audio!

Halfway thru the vid, I paused it and ordered the book from Ebay. I cant wait to read it. Thanks for a great post . Love Lowe. RIP

A sweet old queen; he's now over the rainbow and finally at peace. See you on the other side😎

I love skip..this the best interview i ever did see thx wish I knew you sooner than just today. I do remember thr the little boy u were from old film. Rip

There is a deep sadness in both of their eyes.

Love you Scotty♥️ Happy Trails my friend. ♥️

I can't get enough

Don't forget actor William Haines, he was ahead of all of them.

This is such a great piece of social history captured on film. Skip and Scotty come at the interview process from different places. Both are savvy and witty, open and still a little wide eyed. Scotty bringing up Matt T. all the time is hilarious especially when Skip gets to and past the point of exasperation. You got to celebrate these 2 seniors with all their faculties giving many gems. Priceless.

this is just so good....Skip was unreal....

I've only recently discovered SEL. I'm really enjoying taking in all of his interviews. His child-like genuine curiosity is very enjoyable. I consider him almost like a local Rodney On The Roq of Hollywood. Don't RIP! I hope you're interviewing stars in heaven!

Wow ! Read his book ...very interesting !!!

Skip was the inspiration for Jiminy Glick per Martin Short. It shows! The cell phone!

It's too bad this isn't a better video. The quality, I mean. The story is good. Well done.

I love when Scotty said that he'll have Matt move in with Skip. LOL!!!

R.I.P. to both.

This was filmed in 2011. Skip E. Lowe was just a year younger than Bowers. Bowers comes off really honest. When he was talking About Scott and sexuality. It was a different time back then. Gore Vidal was a brilliant man and didn't suffer fools. I don't think he would show up on Skip's show. lol

When he interviewed Mamie Vandoren I thought she was being interviewed by an old woman. Same here.

Scotty did not seem to happy when Skippy said about turning marines over & Skippy backed off fast .

Great interview!!!

Skip E. Lowe - a big personality.

yeah, Skippy is trippy, even foolish and rude.... now Scotty. THERE's a classy, polite act.

Once a Marine, always a Marine, sexual preference aside....good man!

Skip reminds me of my granny.

Damn! according to Wikipedia, Mr. Bowers died last year. He looked pretty old here. And this is what, from the early 2000s?

"There isn't a Marine i couldn't turn over". LoL! Keep it n ur pants Skippy.

Skip brought the whole interview down by acting like a National enquirer interviewer ! Scotty was cool the whole time!

love skip e lowe

Very true Brock. Part of the problem is he never did his homework on his subject. I was embarrassed for him! May be RIP.

It turns out that Matt Tyrnauer produced the documentary based on Scotty's book, "Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood" released in 2017.

Gorgeous!

Love you boys

Very interesting 😉👍👌

Scotty use to tend bar at Rock Hudson's parties.

This is one of Skippy's best interviews! Reminds me of when I used to see him at The Numbers on Sunset and Crescent Heights in the 70's. He was a gay icon for sure. These two guys were certainly old Hollywood which will never exist again. I wish I could have been part of that secret underground. It must have been wonderful, scary at times but oh so exciting! Giminy Glick was spot on skip e lowe. It's obvious to anyone with a brain and two eyes. I always resented Short for doing that and also how dismissive he was to that great Hollywood icon Bette Davis on The Tonight Show. I often saw Short in Michael's Restaurant in Santa Monica and could see immediately the man had no class. C list all the way! By the way I once saw Brian Dennehy in the Numbers when he was doing research for the Gacy movie. Real overkill and I'm sure he didn't learn much as most hustlers and johns were actually just normal nice people.

Skip couldn't really focus long enough to get any details or context on anyone mentioned, unless he didn't want to know?

I don’t believe everything in Bowers book but he is a class act. Jesus, Skip was such a kook.

Matt Tyrnauer is directing a documentary about Scotty.

Scotty has the same Southern California accent as Ronald Reagan. Sounds just like him.

Was this one of his last interviews? He must have been 80 here

I was confused as well!

I’m a clinical psychologist practicing in Beverly Hills. Bower was a patient for many, many years. Unfortunately his statements made here and in his book are not factual. All though I found him to be personally charming. Bowers suffered greatly with many mental disorders. It still saddens me after all these years.

Skip a study in hot masculanism!!! God why cant they make men like that today!!!

Like everyone else I knew immediately this was the inspiration behind Martin` Shorts character Jimminy Glick what’s annoying is once I heard him describe how he came up with the character and the fact that he left out this man is what I HATE. That was one of Martin funniest characters and he didn’t even create him and tried to pretend it was his own genius...it wasn’t. A mess another thief that doesn’t credit where he STEALS his characters from. He legit went through a whole process, he took the time to create a lie and as annoying as Skip can be that’s part of his charm and I had to randomly find him and see right off this the real Jimminy etc.

the prototype of Jiminy Glick

It looks like they’re at Death’s door 🚪 💀

I know what Scotty was talking about the non-gay gay bit: much more common in some parts of society the world over: now, shhhh!

Oh my....I thought the interviewer was a woman!!!!

#Fabulous

Young people can't imagine ever looking this old. They'd walk a mile out of their way just to avoid being near either one, but especially Skippy. Creepy dude with a taste for nasty.

I think Alden Ehrenreich should play Scotty. He was in Hail Caesar and the Solo movie.

To me it sounds like Spencer Tracey got drunk on purpose so he could say he was drunk and didn't know what he was doing. Because he was ashamed of his true self.

wow

he was an old hustler

Scotty looks a little like Tony Curtis

If you were fat and wore glasses you could get in the Army, but if you were fat and wore glasses you couldn't get in the Marines

Interesting to hear Scotty, but Skip is a' ramblin' and doddering at this point...if only a good interviewer had this opportunity. Still, thanks for posting.

You can tell the interviewer didn’t read the book. For those of us who have this interview was very disapponting.

There you are Scotty with your brother and sister.. There were 3 of us.. So how are your brothers and sisters, my brother is dead.. Hilarious how skip asked questions but ignores replies, he just wants to ask questions

bowers was in his 90s when he diwed

Skippy, the old witch is dead. Horrible interviewer, constantly interrupts, or worse tells his guest he doesn't believe their own take on episodes of their own life. Geez! Thankfully, Scotty is still with us. He was brave and honest enough to get it all down on paper before leaving, and before another denial of facts that some cannot accept. He's one of the last that can tell these stories, if not THE last. I value my copy, and have re-read it several times. It's popular at the library too. They had to have two copies, they circulated so fast. He should have gotten a Pulitzer Prize for literature. We'll probably never see a book like his again. I'm sure he could write volume 2. Let's hope he does.

Skip E Lowe = Jiminy Glick

These guys make aging really scary

Jealous skips hair 😅

Yes, he interviewed former A-listers who turned into D-listers

This whole time I though Skip E. Lowe was a woman. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Scottie is a great Hero in Sexual freedom

What the hell.....

who is matt turner [sp ?]

Is that Skip E Lowe at the beginning of the video? If so, he's so handsome. :-)

Skip ain't buying it and neither am I. Scotty sounds like someone who is retelling all the gossip he has ever heard, very little of it is substantiated.

fabulously delicious

Skip makes me feel sick

No evidence

I have to laugh when Jimmy says how well he knew peyton and how she turned out to be a big looser!......Well what did that make him ?????? The guy looks like a wrinkled up old woman!...lol!

Lighting. Ugh.

HOLLYWOOD WAS SOMETHING THEN

Man skip was wrinkled and really off more than usual, at this point!

Scotty sounded like an idiot @ 6:15. If u took $ u were a pimp Scotty. Nothing bout Tab Hunter who was Tony Perkins bf.

All of the people he talks about are dead and unable to defend themselves. I think he was a liar. He was a hustler.

Skip is a trip.This is not his forte.

Sucks getting old

Skip in interesting but the interviewer is terrible.

Could have sworn this was a woman!!!!!!

Bit of exaggeration, blatant lying and definitely narcissism

Dreadful exposure on Scotty.

No bueno Scotty Bowers and his embellishments. I'm old fashioned so I dont kiss n tell. Scotty seems so parasitic to me... Gross 😮

Who the hell white balanced this? Ugh.

I knew both Skip and Scotty....
