In addition to his ability for recognising talent, he also co-founded DreamWorks and produced Cats and Dreamgirls.Go inside the world of this dealmaker extraordinaire who is witty, self-aware and candid. Everyone from Yoko Ono and Cher, Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd, Steven Spielberg and Elton John, and David Geffen himself, illuminate his rich and riveting story.
