Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel.

MGM turns a hundred years old today. To celebrate, the Hollywood Heritage Museum in Los Angeles has put on an exhibit showcasing the studio's history. Highlights include personal items and costumes worn by Golden Age stars, including Humphrey Bogart, Mae West, Clark Gable, Marion Davies as well as an outfit Judy Garland wore in 1944's "Meet Me In St. Louis." The exhibit runs through June.
