Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, one of Hollywood’s powerful movie studios, created some of filmdom’s most memorable stars and produced a host of classic movies during the 1940s and 50s. On Tuesday, September 2, “Movie Addict Headquarters” will explore “The Glory Days of MGM” with the help of Susan Granger and James Colt Harrison. Both guests bring a wealth of information to the table about this subject.
