The Avants were married in 1967. According to AP, “Jacqueline Avant was a longtime local philanthropist who led organizations that helped low-income neighborhoods including Watts and South Los Angeles, and was on the board of directors of the International Student Center at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The Avants’ daughter, Nicole Avant, is a film producer and former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas and is married to Netflix co-CEO and Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.”
Ted Sarandos is the Netflix exec who was taking all the trans flake for the Dave Chappelle special.
The school chums of my youth lived in Golf and Northfield we lived in Glenview and some were clearly upper bracket.

‘I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody instead of a Grunt, which is what I am.’
My friend from Golf, headline news around Chicago IIRC market manipulation, now out of prison ...
Many nice people, some very progressive.
Here is a nice homage to the late Jackie Avant:
“Many headlines Wednesday focused on Jacqueline’s close relationships with famous men, and she said of herself in a 1980 Times profile: “My role in life? Well, every successful man needs a certain kind of woman.”
