BOB HOPE
Black and white publicity photograph of a young Bob Hope leaning on
his elbow wearing a suit and tie.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Jeannette/My Best/Bob
Hope". B/w, 8x10. 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.
