Biography

Still, he managed to become both a journalist and a playwright before moving to Hollywood in the late '20s to work as a press representative for Sam Goldwyn. His job led him to write screenplays for a few silent films. Later, Mayer became known for writing urbane comedies for Paramount. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
