But as she grew up, she realized how egotistical and overbearing he is. There was a reason he has a reputation for being a cruel studio head.

Elizabeth started hating Mayer. To quote the starlet, she said the boss resembled “a gross thick penguin.” She went on to say how he looked at all his actors and employees like they were all “completely squashable.” This didn’t sit well with the actress, and when the time came, she told him what she really thought about him.
