Earl Blackwell came from southern gentry and mixed comfortably with the international jet set, using his social connections to raise money for the less fortunate, especially children in need. He became a promoter of celebrities and celebrity events and in 1939 founded Celebrity Service, which offered information and research, and published an International Celebrity Register. He was a director of the Broadway Foundation and, from 1957 to 1965, of the Mayor's Committee on Scholastic Achievement, which raised money for college scholarships. [Information from Blackwell's New York Times Obituary of March 4, 1995]. Very good .
