For all who enjoyed the Winter 2020 Loyola Magazine story on Jim Mahoney “The Fixer,” his book Get Mahoney is finally out with famous/infamous tales of the Golden Age of Hollywood. “Get Mahoney” refers to the phrase that was used when stars knew trouble was brewing and Mahoney could “fix” it.

He made sure his three sons went here: Jim Jr. ’73, Sean ’77 and Michael.
