The MGM Brothel

Film studio MGM had a brothel on their lot in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. This brothel, managed at a distance by Louis B. Mayer (1884-1957) and his "fixer" Eddie Mannix (1891-1963), involved celebrity lookalike women. The brothel included a madam, down and out actress Billie Bennett (1874-1951). In autobiographical writings by MGM director Garson Kanin, who passed away in 1999, details of the brothel were revealed.
