REMEMBERING CLARENCE AND JACQUELINE AVANT

A large industry presence is expected in Beverly Hills this evening (10/11) for a memorial service paying tribute to Clarence and Jacqueline Avant. The invitation-only event will celebrate the lives of the influential exec and legendary biz mentor (who died in August) and his philanthropist spouse (who was killed in 2021).

Clarence left huge footprints in entertainment. He was a leader of men, a confidant of presidents and captains of industry. The "Black Godfather" was adored by many for his consigliere wisdom and problem-solving prowess, as well as for his mentorship and larger-than-life persona.

We remember Clarence and Jacqueline with enormous admiration and love.
