He was largely forgotten when he died. I think you are talking about Columbia Pictures Harry Cohn. When he died he had a large funeral, and Red Skelton quipped: "People always come out for something they want to see."
Actually, I checked the Clark Gable story on Snopes; he did drive drunk, hit a tree, and had to go to the hospital, but no one was killed, and the dates appear to be 1933 and 1945. So, that story appears to be false. Also, I would suggest running photos that sync with what is being discussed rather than the same photos in a loop, but yes, L.B. Mayer was a horrible person who had no problem giving his child stars drugs and turning them into addicts for profit.
Irving Thalberg was not a "Director." He was the major Production Executive who was behind production. When Judy Garland was making THE WIZARD OF OZ, the studio strapped her breasts down and put her in a corset. Judy had a crush on Artie Shaw, and her first husband was David Rose, not ROSS!
Mayer was loved and hated by many - he was a contradictory personality - both kind and cruel. Joan Crawford described him as, "A beautiful man. The best friend I ever had." When Judy Garland was hospitalized because of her drug-taking, Mayer personally paid all her medical bills. Elizabeth Taylor hated him and once told him "You and your studio can go to hell." He never spoke to her after that, but did not fire her.
He was sacked in1951, cuz MGM had gone three years without a major Academy Award, which provoked further conflict between Mayer and Nicolas Schenck who was the boss. He passed away in 1957
Amazing that the man is married yet they still blame the woman. He is having the affair with this still happens today. If you’re married it’s up to you to be respectful to your spouse. 2:51
This opening statement seems nonsensical. It definitely wasnt a necessary evil, As if it was necessary for people to be R worded and so on in order to have a movie industry.
don't say any thing bad about the inhuman way he behave ! of this bad person or use the J word when talking about him or his fellow pals will have you censored ! think of all the life's he wrecked and for what power , money , sex and just to be mean
But He was the person in charge! He had to be like that; he had a great responsibility managing a motion picture studio, along with everything included in this. I'm only talking about his pubblic person, privately, it's none of my business.
No. He started out as a scrap metal dealer in Nova Scotia. Read his bio - a fascinating story of a struggle for success. He is to be respected for what he achieved, if nothing else.
Him and Judy garlands mother. The lowest of the low
And many others
Karma: Judy had enough of Ethel's domination, and cast her out of her life when she reached 18. Ethel died alone of a heart attack in a parking lot.
😱 one of the most powerful but also evil 😈 man in Hollywood history. Most people cheered with joy 😂, when he died !...............
How do you know they did? Were you around when he died? Or do you have some older relatives who knew him?
@@captainalex8003 Because it was said and written down by the people who were there at this period in Hollywood history...

The problem is alot of people cheered for him while he was alive....
@@missourimongoose8858 😱 Yes, because absolute fear will do this to a lot of people !..
He was a creep with Judy and I won’t let that be forgotten.

His grandparents couldn't speak English, but I BET his grand kids are somewhere saying immigrants don't belong here....

Very interesting subject so thanks for his rough story.
The pictures with of judy with cake is just publicity. She was not allowed to eat any cake.
Or much of anything else.
Yeah like a wolf in sheep's clothing,
He was a full blown narcissist
Who in Hollywood isn't?
Price to high, for everyone ,
🤔 Maybe so, but they were still prepared to pay the price !..
Given what Mayer did, no wonder some have said that controversial music mogul Clive Davis modeled his management style after Mayer.
Thalberg was a producer not director.
The curse of his origin…

No chocolates!!!
Had Mayer been a boxer at one time?
No. He started out as a scrap metal dealer in Nova Scotia. Read his bio - a fascinating story of a struggle for success. He is to be respected for what he achieved, if nothing else.
@@LaurenceDay-d2phe was not a good man. Many struggle but some choose to live honorably. He did not.
He’s a Top Bagel 🥯
What else do we need to know???
