MGM.When.The.Lion.Roars-Louis B. Mayer-nothing matters
Louis Burt Mayer (July 12, 1884[1] -- October 29, 1957) born Lazar Meir (Russian: Лазарь Меир) was an American film producer. He is generally cited as the creator of the "star system" within Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) in its golden years. Known always as Louis B. Mayer and often simply as "L.B.", he believed in wholesome entertainment and went to great lengths so that MGM had "more stars than there are in the heavens".
As a studio boss, Louis B. Mayer built MGM into the most financially successful motion picture studio in the world and the only one to pay dividends throughout the Great Depression of the 1930s.

I never would have figured Louis B could have an anxiety disorder. Amazing.
Everyone in the Hollywood jungle has an anxiety disorder. Why do you suppose they take all those drugs?
he doped her up when she was a teenager.she even said it herself.
MGM studios ran 24 hours a day, six days a week. Judy said that when they were in production she and Mickey were forced to take pills and made to work 48 hours without stopping. No wonder her health was ruined and she died so young.
I'm a big judy garland fan....n he had a lot to do with Judy's problems n her mother also....
thx for your comments--but judy couldnt cope herself..one of the problems was the fact ,she couldnt cope with the other beautiful actresses around her..she felt inferior --and less attractive especially with the likes of Hedy Lamarr ..and pill popping is ones responsibility--if one wants to do that..nothing or no one will stop it..
Judy was forced to take benzedrine to make her work 72 hours at a stretch, and to keep her weight down. She became addicted to the drugs and could not stop.
Her mother Ethel was the classic stage-mother bitch. Judy herself described Ethel as "a real-life witch."
Mr. Mayer was no saint, but he did a great job with that studio. And the way that Loews treated him was shabby. They stabbed him in the back, so to speak, and he didn't deserve to be pushed out like that.
Backstabbing is a tradition in Hollywood. He should have prepared for it. Loew's CEO Nicholas Schenck hated him and was instrumental in having him dismissed.
Nobody else but Sir Patrick could have hosted this documentary.
Where can we see this full documentary???
What’s the background music called?
go here
www.imdb.com/title/tt0205658/
but no info on music
for famous California people I am Louis mayor I am dressed like hime.
Mickey Rooney was so full of shit, it turns my stomach. His remembrance of L.B. Mayer's death is nothing more than a performance --- much like his testimony before the U.S. Congress in the 2010s regarding elder abuse. He's still trying to "tug at our heartstrings" just the way he did in "Boys Town."
mickey was the 1st all round entertainer..his talking about ,the fact that mr mayer gave him the opportunity to be that man that he was in motion pictures back then..you have some bitterness towards him,,i dint know why,,it was way before your time ..and the facts are true that the elderly and the most vulnerable do get abused in nursing homes and at home.by people they trust and know..look at the stats...why you come here and further abuse a man that done it all in the ent business and has passed on,??
Let us remember him the way he deserves to be remembered in the same way we remember Harvey Weinstein and their hundreds of fellow Hollywood abusers
blablabla gossip gossip gossip you're trash talking...and what's with the psychological verdict? you're a master in that field too? or Budd Schulberg?
