Louis B. Mayer Facts
During his entire career at MGM, Mayer only answered to two men: Marcus Loew- who died on Sept 25, 1927 - and his replacement at MGM parent, Loew's Inc., 'Nicholas Schenck'. It was an uncomfortable relationship for both men. Schenck inherently understood Mayer's value as a the head of MGM but resented his price. The two men would fight bitterly over the years over business matters, with Schenck repeatedly planting spies (including E.J. Mannix who soon became a Mayer loyalist) to monitor Mayer's business dealings.

Brother of J.G. Mayer.

Sidney Skolsky wrote that the joke on the MGM lot was that "L.B." Mayer stood for "Lionel Barrymore" Mayer because he was the "best actor" on the lot in things he did to persuade people, including melodramatically fainting and crying.
