LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - It helps to have a rich graduate. "Star Wars" creator George Lucas announced on Tuesday that his private foundation will give his alma mater, the University of Southern California, $175 million (93 million pounds) to endow and rebuild its School of Cinematic Arts in what amounts to the largest donation in USC history.
The School of Cinematic Arts is the oldest film school in the United States.
"I discovered my passion for film and making movies when I was a student at USC in the 1960s, and my experiences there shaped the rest of my career," Lucas said in a statement.
