Cosmopolitan, chic, wealthy. I wanted to create a concept for the name. And he did, ironically (considering his personal reinvention) designing the wardrobe for the film version of F Scott Fitzgerald's.

The Great Catsby along the way. Women's clothing and houseware bearing the Ralph Lauren name followed and in 1997 the firm went public. Ralphthe first fashion designer to Nave his own signature storepocketed $465 million that day. Shortly after leaving the military in 1964, Ralph married Ricky Low Beer. The couple have ;here children Andrew, Dylan and David. Only David is involved in the family-y business; his brother and sister have pursued their own interests despite heir father's hopes that they join the firm.

Unlike most other fashion houses, 5olo and Ralph Lauren are inseparably tied. "A lot of what you see in the clothes and stores comes literally from my father's life," says David. The man himself is self-deprecating about his contribution to the 20th-century fashion icemen. "I don't think I created fashion," he says.
"I don't know what original means. I think I made a mark, a niche16 that was a little distinctive for what it is personally."

In 1994, together with director Steven Spielberg and former Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, he cofounded DreamWorks, a movie studio and entertainment production company. Initially, Geffen was skeptical about getting back into the movie business full-time, but the creative opportunities proved too tempting to resist. "I thought,' How can I turn this down?' " Geffen told Los Angeles magazine. "I'm 52 years-old, and if I don't do this, I will get tired and lazy and bored. But being with these guys will keep me hanging onto a train that is going 300 miles an hour. "

As a recording industry and movie executive, Geffen has been influential in shaping popular culture-a position that has also earned him some significant criticism. A series of deadly shootings in American high schools in the late 1990s prompted'4 a public outcry that associated such shocking acts with the increased violence in contemporary movies and entertainment. When Presi-dent Clinton, in May 1999, urged the entertainment industry to tone down its emphasis on violence, Geffen responded "Why not blame the libraries? They're full of violent books. " In a telephone interview with The New York Times, Geffen went on to argue that any action to reduce children's exposure to movie violence should not infringe on artistic freedom. "Before you talk to people in music or entertainment or video games, or even gun control," he said, "you need to talk to psychiatrists."

Geffen's personal worth has been estimated at well over $1 billion. He donates much of his annual salary to the David Geffen Foundation , a charitable organization devoted to his favorite causes.These include AIDS research, a crusade he has backed avidly since publicly announcing his homosexuality in the early 1980s. Beyond making financial contributions, Geffen has lobbied19 Washington tirelessly on behalf of funding AIDS research and gay rights. In 1993, he took out full-page newspaper ads protesting President Clinton's policy on gays in the military. Yet Geffen continues to support Democratic politicians, hosting a 1999 Hollywood bash20 that raised about $1.5 million for Democratic congressional candidates.
