EDDIE MANNIX: The first Hollywood Mobster

The 20th century was a time where America was viewed as a land of opportunity, and many immigrants came to the country in search of wealth and success. Some chose to engage in illegal activities, such as offering protection in exchange for "favors," while others found success in the new film industry. Eddie Mannix was a person who found a middle path between the two, becoming a fixer for Metro Goldwyn Mayer and one of the first mobsters in Hollywood. In this video, we'll learn more about his story. Joseph Edgar Allen John Mannix (February 25, 1891 – August 30, 1963) was an American film studio executive and producer. He is remembered for his work as a "fixer", who was paid to cover up Hollywood stars' often colorful private lives to protect their public image and profitability for the studio. Among his most lasting contributions to Hollywood was a ledger he maintained that lists the costs and revenues of every MGM film produced between 1924 and 1962, an important reference for film historians.
