Black and white publicity photograph of Bob Hope leaning on his elbow

Photograph inscribed and signed: "To/Nancy Lou,/'Thanks for the
Memory'/Bob Hope". B/w, 7¾x9¾. Bob Hope (1903-2003) was born in England,
moving with his family to the U.S. when he was four. A popular vaudeville
performer from the 1920s, he starred in Broadway musicals of the 1930s,
including Roberta and Red, Hot and Blue. Among the most popular
of his 53 films were the "Road to ..." movies with Bing Crosby and Dorothy
Lamour, beginning with The Road to Singapore (1940). He won three
honorary awards from the Academy of Motion Pictures (1940, 1944, and 1965).
Seven months before Pearl Harbor, he appeared in the first of his shows for
American servicemen, a tradition he would continue through a Persian Gulf tour
in 1991. His success as a comedian continued unabated from radio to
television with the long-running Bob Hope Show (1950-1967) and
with guest appearances continuing through 1992. A well known philanthropist,
friend to Presidents, and avid golfer with his own tournament (the Bob Hope
Desert - later Chrysler - Classic, begun in 1960), Hope has made an enduring
contribution to American culture. Lightly creased in upper left. Mounting tape
stains in corners. Otherwise, fine condition.
