The old slogan for MGM during the 1940s was that the studio had “more stars than there are in the heavens.”  

The same could be said of the fresh fundraising reports from the upcoming primary in California’s 33rd District — which covers Beverly Hills and Malibu. Dozens of Hollywood stars and executives donated during the past six weeks in this race to replace retiring Rep. Henry A. Waxman.  

There are at least six serious candidates running for the seat, and all filed pre-primary reports by Thursday’s deadline. These are the final comprehensive campaign financial reports ahead of the June 3 primary. The top-two finishers will proceed to the general election.  

These reports reflect spending and fundraising from April 1 to May 14. Stars crowded the race’s first quarter  reports as well.
