Fred Otash was a legendary LAPD officer in the 1940s. A clash with the brass motivated him to resigned and ultimately
become one of the most notorious Hollywood Private Investigators. He tells all
in “Investigation Hollywood.” In the book, Lana Turner’s Bedroom, Gaby Wood wrote, “…..suggested to Lana that she call the most celebrated
criminal lawyer in Los Angeles, Jerry Giesler. Giesler was nicknamed 'the magnificent mouthpiece'; he had got Errol Flynn
cleared of two rape charges and Bugsy Siegel cleared of murder. He arrived with a private eye, Fred Otash, who was a former vice cop and fed stories to Confidential
magazine on the side. By now the house was surrounded—by medics, policemen and neighbors in bathrobes.” Fred was everywhere and into everything.
