From a guick Google search:
"Kerry's $50,000 Hollywood supporters include actor Dennis Hopper,
director William Friedkin, Viacom Entertainment Chairman Jonathan
Dolgen, Paramount Studios chief Sherry Lansing, CBS Entertainment head
Nancy Tellem and three top executives at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Kerry's Massachusetts fundraisers include longtime backers Alan
Solomont, the former finance chairman of the Democratic National
Committee (DNC); Jonathan Lavine, managing director of Bain Capital; and
the senator's brother Cameron Kerry, an attorney at Mintz Levin..."
I might have to stand corrected! And, if I do, I do! Thanks!

Nothing surprises me any more,
President Bush doesn't need Hollywood. They need him, and his leadership, as we all do.
It's great that some entertainers support our President and troops, who are fighting for the oppressed in the world.
But President Bush NEEDS Hollywood?...hell no. I think that was obvious on Nov. 3rd, 2004. A good part of the Hollywood community gave it all they had, and they still couldn't defeat him, and what he stands for.
Hollywood loved Kennedy, but THEY didn't get him elected......
I think the question to be asked is, does Hollywood NEED us common folks, who have been lining their pockets for years, paying their salaries. I, for one, no longer contribute to the filthy rich who continue to use their "celebrity" to disrespect our country.
I wonder why that $50K donation doesn't show up at OpenSecrets.org? The only donation they show from Dennis Hopper in the last three years is $2,000 to the RNC.
Dang, all I have is the regular Google.
Do I have to pay for the guick upgrade?
Of John Kerrys 263 campaign vice chairsfundraising leaders who each have collected over $100,000 in small donations 18 are from the entertainment industry. They include Paramount Pictures CEO Sherry Lansing, former Jim Henson Company CEO Charlie Rivkin and Dennis Hoppers wife, Victoria. Only trial lawyers and securities professionals account for a greater number.
I think it was his wife and not him making donations to the sKerry campaign. Mixed marriage! He was adamant in the interview I saw that he was a staunch Bush supporter.
