An article last Sunday about David Geffen correctly quoted Diane von Furstenberg as saying, “There is a maturity when you realize you are no longer mortal.” After the article was published, Ms. von Furstenberg confirmed she meant to say “no longer immortal.” Her quotation was revised to reflect her initial intention.

“Like men of a certain age, he is looking at his legacy and how he will be remembered,” said Diane von Furstenberg, a longtime friend. “There is a maturity when you realize you are no longer immortal.”
