Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s Lion Mascot
In 1928, a photographer took this behind-the-scenes image of a film crew recording what became known as the lion mascot for Metro Goldwyn Mayer. So, the lion audiences see onscreen is actually a real lion. The beast in the photo was named Jackie from Sudan. The crew had to build a sound stage around the wild animal’s cage in order to record its roar. The footage was then used at the start of all MGM films from that point on.
