Who Is Patricia Douglas?
Back in the late 1930s, MGM was the greatest and most powerful studio in Hollywood. MGM was known for its famous stars, but Patricia Douglas was not one of them. In fact, she was a young “wannabe.” She lived with her mom and had never had a sexual encounter in her life. That is, until one fateful night when she was invited to be included in what she thought was an upcoming movie.

Along with dozens of other underage girls, she was brought in to entertain hundreds of salespeople who arrived in Los Angeles for an MGM convention. Surrounded by popping champagne bottles, the 20-year-old virgin was a victim of sexual harassment (reports incorrectly state that she was 17 at the time).
