You sometimes had to check in with him and get a pass if you had an appointment on the lot. But if it was around lunchtime, you could blend in with the flow of MGM folks going back to their offices and just stroll in.

I think he had a nameplate in the booth. Hollywood was his real name. I once looked--he had a Google presence.

Like I said, a nice guy.
