Robert Earl was born Robert Ian Leigh, son of British entertainer Robert Earl. Earl grew up in Hendon and was educated at the local school, but also traveled around a great deal in the UK, Europe and the United States, following his father's career.
Earl graduated from the University of Surrey with an honors degree in Hotel and Catering Management. In 2012 he set up the Robert Earl Scholarship, awarded each year to 14 students across the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, worth up to £2,500 each.
Business Career and Investments
Earl was named one of the "The 25 Most Influential Americans" by Time Magazine.
Earl began his career with his first Beefeater-themed restaurant.
President Entertainment
In 1977, Earl founded President Entertainment, a company specializing in theme restaurants, in London. Earl quickly grew the business into a restaurant empire totaling 70 restaurants by the time he merged his company President Entertainment with Pleasurama PLC, a London-based leisure group, in 1987. The transaction yielded Earl $63million.
He played two years as a forward with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program Under-18 and Under-17 Programs. He ranked third on the under-18 team in 2002–03 with 33 points and 20 goals in 53 games, finishing fourth at the 2003 IIHF World Under-18 Championship in Yaroslavl, Russia. He was the game-winning goal scorer in the championship game of the 2002 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Stonewell, Manitoba and was fourth in scoring for the NTDP Under-17 Team with 22 goals and 16 assists in 58 games during 2001–02. He played for future Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves at the NTDP.
Collegiate
In Earl's first season with the Badgers, he scored 27 points playing in a career high 42 games. As a Freshman he led the Badgers in points that season. He also managed to be nominated to the All-Rookie Team, tallying six power-play goals and three game-winning goals that year. His career first hat trick came in overtime against then league-leading North Dakota. During his freshman season, Earl was awarded with Insidecollegehockey.com’s National Player of the Week award and the WCHA Rookie of the Week award. He was the Toronto Maple Leafs’ fourth choice, 187th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
Robert Earl (September 20, 1824 – December 2, 1902 Herkimer) was an American lawyer and politician from New York. He was Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals in 1870 and 1892.
Early Life
He was born on September 20, 1824, in the Town of Herkimer, in Herkimer County, New York. He was educated at the Herkimer Academy, and graduated from Union College in Schenectady in 1845. After graduation, he became Principal of Herkimer Academy, and at the same time studied law with Charles Gray in Herkimer. He was admitted to the bar in 1848, and practiced in partnership with his brother Samuel in their law firm in the Village of Herkimer, S. & R. Earl.
As a young lawyer, Earl was active in local politics and civic affairs. In 1849, he acquired a weekly newspaper, the "Herkimer Democrat", and served as its editor and publisher. In the same year, he was elected a supervisor of Herkimer, then trustee of the village, and again supervisor in 1860. He was also elected First Judge and Surrogate of the Herkimer County Court in 1855, and served from 1856 to 1859. In 1868, he served as President of the New York Democratic State Convention.
He began his singing career at local functions around London's East End, and soon progressed to singing with some of the top big bands of the day such as those of Sidney Lipton, Nat Temple and Van Straten. In 1953, he auditioned for Norman Newell of Philips Records and was offered a recording contract.
In 1957 he had a contract with George Baines and Will Hammer and starred in "Big Splash", an Aqua Show at The Derby Baths, Blackpool for the summer season.
He enjoyed three charthits during this period, while signed to Philips: "I May Never Pass This Way Again" (#14) and "More Than Ever" ("Come prima") (#26) in 1958 and "The Wonderful Secret of Love" (#17) in 1959.
His agent was Michael Sullivan, who also represented Shirley Bassey. After a 20-year career as a professional singer he retired in 1970, and then devoted much of his time to the Grand Order of Water Rats, a showbusinesscharitable organization. He now lives in the United States. There are currently two CD of his recordings available, The Magic of Robert Earl (Spectrum) 2004 - 22 tracks.
and "If You Can Dream" released 2013 by Vocalion records - with 30 tracks from the first 17 singles [1953 to 1958] listed in the Singles Discography list below.
Earl is most famous for being involved with the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal supply effort and participated in the destruction of records. He was granted immunity for his testimony.
Oliver North had been a professional acquaintance of Robert Earl since their time together at the Naval Academy. After graduation from the Academy, Earl and North often crossed paths during their careers.
Later career
During the George W. Bush presidency, Earl was appointed as chief of staff to acting Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon R. England.
"We're going to bring Hollywood to Vegas, and we're going to have a must-see attraction."
"in compliance with state law."
"The plan is to put the Aladdin on a higher plane than it has been, to alter and broaden the customer base from what it has been enjoying, and to present a more edgy and trendy face to the public."
"And of course we're dismembering the Middle East theme entirely. When we're done, we should be in the same class as Mandalay Bay Resort, The Mirage and MGM (Grand)."
"We expect to do a large retail business with the Planet Hollywood brand on everything. We have a new logo and fresh ideas and expect there will be synergies with the hotel-casino to turn the retail into more of a profit center than most casinos enjoy."
"We are thrilled to be able to reveal to Las Vegas our plans for the new Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino,"
"As the designs clearly demonstrate, we have unveiled something spectacular, something unexpected. We are looking forward to starting the renovations and we will be making announcements in the coming weeks about fantastic new restaurants and clubs as we bring Hollywood to Vegas."
"Beginning nutrition education in early childhood is an important part of helping to ensure that children will achieve healthful lifestyles,"
"We are very disappointed with our year-to-date financial performance and have not yet seen a positive turn in our operational performance,"
"Today is the first step in our plan to position Planet Hollywood for a return to long-term profitability and healthy growth, ... in the aggregate, [they] will generate positive cash flow through this restructuring process."
