Soon after he left Disney, Katzenberg formed DreamWorks with David Geffen and Steven Spielberg. He raided a goodly portion of Disney talent, including Prince of Egypt producers Penney Finkelman Cox and Sandra Rabins and composer Hans Zimmer.

Groups including the American Lung Association and the California Medical Association have contributed funds and organizers. Hollywood heavies from Steven Spielberg to Robin Williams have given money; and Hillary Clinton has agreed to attend an L.A. fund raiser. "Prop 10 would utterly transform the well-being of small children across the state," says Peter Digre, director of the L.A. County Department of Child Welfare Services...
