Hefner donates $2 million to cinematic arts school
Deseret News (Salt Lake City), Nov 16, 2007
Hugh Hefner has donated $2 million to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.
The money will fund a central exhibition space in the new headquarters of the school and an archival repository for student films and historic documents, the university said.
The existing repository, which bears Hefner's name, holds more than eight decades of student films, including some by George Lucas.
"I've always believed that following one's dreams is very important," Hefner said in a statement from USC.
