From
1920 through the 1940s, MGM's Mannix and Strickling "fixed" the
publicity problems of the MGM studio's movie stars. This dual
biography of two powerful men delves into the stories behind the
"official" stories.
The "fixers" handled problems as diverse as the studio-directed
drug addictions of Judy Garland, and arranging for an unmarried
Loretta Young to adopt her own child, a child fathered by a married
Clark Gable.
