Michael Milken’s got an adventure island named for him at L.A.’s zoo. Leonardo DiCaprio’s moniker will soon adorn a computer library in Los Feliz. And the Barbra Streisand chair of intimacy and sexuality sits at USC. Yes, there are certain perks to being rich and generous in Hollywood: People name cool stuff after you! And when you’re really rich, like David Geffen, you can claim the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood, the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA . . . you catching on? So what about attaching that most golden prefix to some landmarks that might benefit from a little, shall we say, pick-me-up?:
J. Paul Geffen Museum (think of it as “preventive preservation”) * The Great Geffen Forum * St. Geffeana’s Cathedral * The Geffenwood Sign * La Geffen Tar Pits * Grandma Geffen’s Bottle Village * The Amgeffador Hotel (featuring the world-famous Geffenut Grove) * “It’s a Geff World” at Geffyland * Gefferama Dome * . . . and the Geffenth Observatory in, why hold back, Geffenth Park!
