The Bronfmans still move in an elegant world where the fabulously rich mingle with the powerful and famous. Edgar Jr.'s aunt Minda married a French banker with Rothschild ties and became a baroness. His father belongs to that small circle of New Yorkers who can get Presidents to answer their telephone calls. Edgar Jr.'s friends include the director Steven Spielberg and Senator Thomas Daschle.

Also mentioned in the article is Barry Diller husband of Diane von Furstenburg who both have been on the yacht of David G. who has been rumored a High Level player in Pedowood.

PROFILE of David Geffen. Entertainment moguls usually come from the film business, sometimes from TV, almost never from the record industry: never before David Geffen has a man emerged from the recording industry to become one of the elite of the American mogulocracy. Only Geffen has combined an exquisite sensitivity to pop-cultural fads with the cast-iron stomach of a businessman. With a personal fortune of more than $2 billion, Geffen is perhaps the most powerful man in Hollywood, both widely admired for his entrepreneurial spirit and widely feared for his guile and his anger. Geffen's specialty is developing highly personal relationships within the business. His friends include President Bill Clinton, Edgar Bronfman, Jr., and Barry Diller, as well as Spielberg and Katzenberg. When you become a part of Geffen's relationship economy, it seems as if there were nothing he wouldn't do for you. But if you displease Geffen you find yourself immediately denied his munificence. Geffen was raised in Borough Park, Brooklyn, and he dropped out of both Brooklyn College and the University of Texas. When he was 20, he landed a job in the mailroom of the William Morris Agency. Once inside William Morris, Geffen had perhaps the only epiphany of his life. "I'm delivering the mail to people's offices and I hear them on the phone, and I think, I can do that..." Geffen soon became an agent and a manager, while developing numerous personal contacts with rock musicians and groups like Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and the Eagles. In 1971, Geffen established a record company called Asylum, which became the house of the L.A. sound in the early and mid-'70s. Some were critical of Geffen's style. Fred Goodman, in his recent book, "Mansion on the Hill," wrote, "If the acquisition of wealth and influence is rock's ultimate meaning, then the most meaningful figure it has produced is the billionaire mogul, David Geffen." In 1972, Geffen sold Asylum to Steve Ross for $7 million and became the head of a new Warner-owned label, Elektra-Asylum-Nonesuch, for 3 years. He was found to have bladder cancer in 1976, and at the same time he was fired from his job of running Warner pictures. Bound by a noncompete contract, he "retired" to New York, frequented Studio 54, and lectured at Yale. In 1980, Geffen came out of retirement by founding Geffen Records (His cancer turned out to be a misdiagnoses.) After a bad beginning, Geffen caught on to the trend of heavy metal music in the mid-'80s and the company became astonishingly successful. Geffen assembled a legendary A. & R. department, which brought in acts like Nirvana, Guns n' Roses, and Aerosmith. His company also produced successful movies. At the end of the '80s, Geffen sold his company to MCA for an astronomical figure and became the richest man in Hollywood. He bought a famous house--the Warner estate, which was built by Hollywood mogul Jack Warner in the '30s--and for 8 years, he has been closely involved in the remodeling of the house. In the meantime, he has been living at his Malibu home. In 1994, Geffen joined his friends movie director Steven Spielberg and former Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg in forming a new movie studio called DreamWorks SKG. The company has released 3 pictures so far, all of which have been less than spectacularly successful, but Geffen remains confident that the studio will succeed. The writer describes attending the L.A. premiere of DreamWorks' latest movie, "Amistad," which was directed by Spielberg, with Geffen.

Is there anyway that Geffen could also have played a part in the death of Judith B? Idk, but he is the top of the heap. You have done amazing and some powerful research on this and all I am doing is asking. I respect your work and thank you for keeping this horrid crime alive here and not giving up on Judith and Heather. Many others seem to not want to touch this subject and are avoiding it like the plague. Thank you. RIP Judith RIP Heather.
