John Houseman, 59, producer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, is paid more than $100,000 a year, but he moonlights. Often working at his other job until dawn, he drives home to his beach house in the Malibu colony, bathes, shaves, and returns to M-G-M by 9 a.m. For that sort of self-punishment he gets perhaps another $1,000 per year, but with it comes the satisfaction of shaping one of the most creative organizations in the American theater...
