Dolores Hope", B/w 5x7. DOLORES HOPE, born Dolores Reade (1909-2011),
had a successful career as a nightclub singer, but she is best known for
being Mrs. Bob Hope. The couple was married from February 19, 1934 until his
death on July 27, 2003 and had four adopted children. From 1942, Dolores
accompanied her husband on his trips to entertain troops around the world,
including an appearance in Vietnam in 1966; in 1991, she was the only female
allowed to perform for the troops in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert
Storm. Dolores appeared on 18 of her husband's TV specials, from Happy
Birthday, Bob in 1978 to Bob Hope at 100 (2003), and she was also
seen on an episode of The Jack Benny Program (1958) as well as two
airings of The Christophers (1953, 1955). Well known for her
philanthropic works, Dolores has worked tirelessly for the Eisenhower
Medical Center and she has contributed greatly to other charities, most
notably those of the Roman Catholic Church. She was honored with a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 1997. Fine condition.
