Jeffrey Katzenberg Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Jeffrey Katzenberg (created December 21, 1950) is an American businessman, film studio executive and movie producer. As a creator and CEO of DreamWorks Animation, he’s supervised the creation of such animated franchises as “Shrek”, “Madagascar”, “Kung Fu Panda”, “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “How to Train Your Dragon”. Katzenberg has additionally been involved in politics. With his energetic support to Barack Obama, he was called as “one of Hollywood’s highest political kingmakers plus among the Democratic Party’s top national fundraisers.”

It had been reported that Obama arrived in La on October 7, 2012, where he joined Bill Clinton at Katzenberg’s Beverly Hills house to get an exclusive meeting with several deep-pocketed Democratic donors. Members of the White House press corps who’d traveled to California with Obama were kept in the garage of Katzenberg’s mansion plus one reporter called the assembly “uncommon”. Katzenberg, who’d previously contributed $2 million to the pro-Obama PAC Priorities USA Action, contributed an additional $1 million in October 2012.

#Quote
1If you asked 100 people to list 100 words to describe me, not one of them would have 'patient' written down. The irony is that the medium I find myself in love with and devoted to takes infinite patience.
2[on how he got a reluctant Leonard Nimoy to reprise his role as Mr. Spock for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"] "All I remember is being in a resturant in New York with Leonard, and begging on my hands and knees. It worked."
3Of this much I'm certain: If you write a good script with a great premise, you'll have a big hit. If you write a bad script with a great premise you'll still make money. But if you write a great script with a bad premise, success is not likely.
