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.[1][2]
Among his most lasting contributions to Hollywood was a ledger he maintained that listed the costs and revenues of every MGM film produced from 1924 to 1962, an important reference for film historians.
