My life consists of attending functions to promote & support breast cancer awareness. I am either working putting together projects with others or creating & producing events of my own. I meet regularly with politicians, celebrities, personalities & sponsors in an attempt to get them involved in my quest to end cancer in "our lifetime!" I have the endorsement & have been recognized the world over & befriended by some 112,872 friends on Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, AmericaOnline, MSN, Yahoo, PalTalk & Itext. Furthermore, I have been blessed & recognized by proclamations, commendations from the following to date:

Unfortunately, because of the 5000 friends limit in place, it was suggested I build a fan site at David Harrison Levi - Starmaker ---> JOIN my fan page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beverly-Hills-CA/David-Harrison-Levi-STARMAKER/138234750568?ref=ts&__a=25 I grew up in Beverly Hills on Crescent Drive across the street from the Beverly Hills Hotel & at age 5 was on the Art Linkletter Show & House Party "Kid's Say the Darndest Things!" I went to Mother Goose Nursery School, Beverly Vista Elementary & Beverly Hills High School, later finishing my studies in Israel. Throughout my life I worked in & around the entertainment business. After school, I would go to the William Morris Agency & hang around with William Morris Agency Chairman, Norman Brokaw whom I have known since 1964 & be in aww of "the deals being made!" In 1976, celebrity clothing designer (Worst Dressed List) Mr Blackwell produced a radio show called "David Levi - Starmaker" on KIEV Radio "the talk of the town" a local Los Angeles based radio station, discussing the careers of John Travolta & Denny Terrio (Dance Fever) after the show he gave me this nickname from love because he felt it "worked!" It is a nickname that has stuck with me for many years. Mr Richard Blackwell truly believed in me! I have been fortunate enough to have had numerous success's in my own life from antique stores to TV & Film props in Beverly Hills from shoe stores & clothing boutiques. I have dabbled in my family liquor business. My Father - Simon Mayer Levi created The Simon Levi Liquor Company (worldwide) Beverly Hills Liquor Castle & furnished The White House through every President since John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush. Time Magazine wrote "Simon Levi is the most knowledgeable man in the wine business!" Headquarters at 212 South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills since the late 50's, my Mom & Dad have played host & been blessed to know literally tens of thousands of celebrities, personalities & public figures. Strong supporters of the Beverly Hills Board of Education, Police, Fire & Paramedics, Investing in residential & commercial land in San Francisco, Los Angeles & Beverly Hills was my Father's passion. I am very proud of my families participation in being early pioneers in the growth of the City of Beverly Hills. My father's brother was famed Rabbi Elias Levi who was the head Rabbi of the Sephardic Temple in Westwood. My family once again played an important role in the creation of this temple. In 1979, I was a partner/Vice-President of the original Chippendale's Nightclubs in Los Angeles. In 1982, I was the creator/partner of the Beverly Hills 24 Hour Diner on South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. I have always loved collecting antiques & vintage & classic automobiles. My car collection of 26 vehicles included Ferrari's, Jaguars, Rolls Royce & Bentley to Mercedes Benz, Porsche & Bugatti. It was my white Rolls Royce used in the beginning, middle & ending sequence in the movie Pretty Woman. My Bugatti was showcased from 1989 - 2003 in my gallery window at 229 South Beverly Drive at David Levi's TV, Film & Sports. I have a love for friends & family & am very trusting of everyone. Proceeding after my Father's death, I suffered personal tragedy and chose to become somewhat secluded & avoided the public. Recently, I felt it time to reestablish myself six month's after my father's death. I have been a friend & personal manager to international recording star Smitty whom I have known since the late 1960's. I have never been married and have no children. I had recently been involved in a long distance relationship for over two years. Time & distance made it difficult to have the relationship we both desired. I am truly blessed to have many of my lifelong friends here on Facebook. Paul Dotseth, Smitty, Behzad Ghavami, Marilyn Valene, Tino Baglioni, Eli Okyle & Mark Politi just to name a few. I have been very instrumental (memorabilia) in the creation & building of many restaurants (Johnny Rockets, Planet Hollywood & Hard Rock Cafe), clothing boutiques & establishing many friends & clients in the world of entertainment. I became very visible again & started attending many charity & special events around Southern California. Suddenly, my photos became prominent in various places throughout the Internet. I once again was making NEW friends & reestablishing my OLD friendships. I decided to produce & host a pre Grammy party on my birthday (January 19 Capricorn) on January 27th & was fortunate to have so many assist me in what has been called "the party of the year!" With over 1100 guests in attendance & 41 musical guest Artists & over 51 media outlets from all over the world in attendance. Once again, on January 31st 2010, I again, produced & hosted a cocktail party at the request of the owner Martina Harrer's Orange Berlin Salon on Beverly Blvd in West Hollywood to 657 friends, once again my friends came out to celebrate a birthday party celebration. I am so very excited for the future & am so very blessed by so many amazingly caring , kind, talented, beautiful & loyal friends. I have been blessed to have met my spokesperson for breast cancer Ms. Stephanie LaRue from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
