Bob Hope - A Legendary Icon of the 20th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Bob Hope, a true legend in the entertainment industry. Born on May 29,1903, he started his career as a vaudeville comedian and singer with Fatty Arbuckle's traveling show. In 1927, he made his Broadway debut in "The Sidewalks of New York" followed by his film debut in "Going Spanish" in 1934. However, it was in the 1940s that Bob Hope truly shone brightly. Teaming up with Bing Crosby for their first road movie, "Road to Singapore" they became an unstoppable duo. His overseas tours to entertain US troops during World War II solidified him as not only a talented entertainer but also a patriotic humanitarian. In addition to being a major movie star throughout the '40s and '50s, Bob Hope founded several film production companies and received numerous accolades for his contributions to both cinema and society. He was honored with three honorary Academy Awards and a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1959. With an estimated net worth of $280 million by 1982, Bob Hope's success knew no bounds. Although always surrounded by beautiful girls on screen, he rarely got the girl himself - yet this only added to his charm. Bob Hope will forever be remembered alongside Charlie Chaplin as one of the most iconic comic figures of mass media era. From humble beginnings as a stand-up comedian to becoming a cultural icon, Bob Hope left an indelible mark on Hollywood history that will continue to inspire generations to come.
