Media Mogul Barry Diller Gives $30-Million to Hollywood Fund

June 6, 2012, 10:41 am

The Motion Picture & Television Fund announced a $30-million contribution Tuesday from entertainment executive Barry Diller, the largest gift to date in the charity’s $350-million endowment campaign, The Hollywood Reporter and The Wall Street Journal write.

Mr. Diller, the chairman of IAC/InterActiveCorp., made the donation through the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation, which he runs with his partner, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.

The fund, which provides health and social services to retired show-business workers, launched the campaign in February in large part to support its Los Angeles-area nursing home, which it at one time planned to close.

“[It] seems impossible to me to have had success in the entertainment industry and not strongly support” the fund, Mr. Diller said.
