  The man behind Hollywood's biggest names. Notoriously press and camera-shy David Geffen reveals himself for the first time in this unflinching portrait of a complex and compelling man. His far-reaching influence - as agent and manager record industry mogul Hollywood and Broadway producer and billionaire philanthropist - has helped shape American popular culture for the past four decades. In his singular rise from working-class Brooklyn boy to billionaire entertainment mogul he launched the early successes of Joni Mitchell Crosby Stills and Nash Jackson Browne Tom Cruise and Guns N' Roses. He founded Geffen Records and signed world-class artists John Lennon Elton John Cher Nirvana and Aerosmith. He co-founded DreamWorks the first new Hollywood studio in more than 50 years. He produced Cats and Dreamgirls. He is one of the largest contributors to the fight against AIDS; and has also become an important political voice in the US. American Masters explores the highs and the lows in Geffen's professional and personal life through more than 50 new interviews with Yoko Ono Cher Frank Rich Maureen Dowd Steven Spielberg Barry Diller David Crosby Neil Young Tom Hanks Elton John Rahm Emanuel and David himself providing an insight into his rich and riveting story.
