Mary Lucia talks about Inventing David Geffen, a documentary that first appeared on PBS's American Masters and is now streaming on Netflix.

"He's a bajillionaire record mogul, label owner, movie producer, etc.," Mary says, "but what's more interesting to me about it is how self made he truly was; the most ambitious person in the world."
