Jennifer Aniston, Eddie Murphy, Morgan Freeman and Hollywood Elite Attend Barack Obama Fundraiser

Presidential candidate Barack Obama attracted some of Hollywood’s heavy hitters on Tuesday night at a $2,300-per-ticket fundraiser held at the Beverly Hilton. Addressing the crowd of 300, Obama spoke of the entertainment industry’s power to influence, and with that power they bore a tremendous amount of responsibility.

The fundraiser was hosted by Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the dynamic trio that make up DreamWorks SKG.

With actors ranging from Ben Stiller and Morgan Freeman to Jennifer Aniston and Eddie Murphy, Obama appealed to a wide array of celebrities. Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks was also in attendance as was Jackson Browne.

The fundraiser brought in over $1.3 million to Obama’s campaign.
