Leslie Townes Hope Order of the British Empire|KBE
(May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003), best known
as Bob Hope, was a famous entertainer, having
appeared in vaudeville, on Broadway, on radio and
television, film|movies and in army concerts. Hope
became famous with several Broadway musicals
including Roberta, Say When, the 1936 Ziegfeld
Follies and Red, Hot and Blue. Before becoming a
comedian, Hope boxed professionally under the
boxing nickname of Packy Easte.

==London origins==

Hope was born in Eltham, London, as fifth of seven
sons. His English father, William Henry Hope, was
a stonemason from Weston-super-Mare and his
Wales|Welsh mother, Avis Townes, was a light opera
singer. The family lived in Weston-super-Mare,
Whitehall and St. George in Bristol before moving
to Cleveland, Ohio in 1907. He became a United
States citizen in 1908.

==Personal life==

According to biographer Arthur Marx, Hope married
his first wife, Grace Louise Troxell, his
vaudeville partner since 1928, on January 25,
1933; they were quickly divorced. He married his
second wife, reportedly on February 19, 1934,
Dolores DeFina, a Bronx-born nightclub singer
professionally known as Dolores Reade. They had
met two months previously, at The Vogue, a
Manhattan nightclub where Reade was performing.
Dolores and Bob Hope had four children - all
adopted from the same Evanston, Ill., orphanage -
and remained together until his death.

In his 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938, he
introduced the song that became his trademark:
Thanks for the Memory, which he initially sang in
a duet with Shirley Ross.

==Hope's film career==

Hope starred in several one-reel comedies for
Warner Bros. and from there his movie career
accelerated quickly. As a movie star he was best
known for the road movies in which he was paired
with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, as well as
the movie My Favorite Brunette. He never won any
Oscars for these, though the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, honored him five
times—with two honorary Academy
Award|Oscars, two special awards and the Jean
Hersholt Humanitarian Award.  As host of the
Academy Awards - a role he filled numerous times
from the 1950s to the 1980s - he once joked about
Oscar time, "Or as it's known at my house,
Passover."

==Tours of duty==

Hope made big money performing live: An eight-week
tour in 1940 took in a then-record $100,000 in
receipts, according to newspaper reports. The next
year, he did a show for free. 


On May 6, 1941 at California's March Field, Hope
performed his first United Service
Organizations|USO show. He continued entertaining
troops for the rest of World War II, the Korean
War, the Vietnam War all the way until the
1990-1991 Gulf War|Persian Gulf War (The Hundred
Hour War). He took the matter to heart when
entertaining and was almost always seen in army
duds, just like his audience, as a sign of support
for the troops for whom he performed.  Hope's USO
career spanned six decades, during which he
headlined approximately 60 tours.

==Hope for humanity and sport==

Hope was also renowned for his passion for sports.
He boxed professionally, was a billiards|pool
hustler, watched American football|football and
even owned part of the Cleveland Indians and the
Los Angeles Rams. Hope is mostly remembered for
his passion for golf, and even played in a few
Professional Golfers Association of America|PGA
tour events. The Hope/Chrysler Classic is named
after him, which is now in its 44th year. He also
golfed with nearly every President of the United
States from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W.
Bush.

In the 1950s he was named honorary mayor of Palm
Springs, California.

In 1978, Hope was created an honorary knight in
the Order of the British Empire "in recognition of
his contributions to film, to song, and to the
entertainment of troops in the past." (citation)

In 1997, Hope was honored by the United States
Congress with the title "Honorary Veteran of the
United States Armed Forces" during an October 29
tribute.  It was given him in recognition of the
entertainment he provided US troops during war and
peacekeeping missions.

==Hope for (and on) the air==

Hope's career in broadcasting spanned sixty-four
years, and part of this was his long association
with National Broadcasting Company|NBC.  He first
appeared on television in 1932, back when the tube
was in the experimental stages, but it wasn't on
the Peacock network--he appeared on a test
transmission for CBS.  By the time Hope made his
radio debut in 1937, NBC was mainly just a radio
network.  Hope's first regular series for NBC
Radio was the "Woodbury Soap Hour".  One year
later, he had the first show to bear his name, and
then sponsored by Pepsodent toothpaste.  Modern
viewers remember Hope best for the many specials
he did for the National Broadcasting Company|NBC
television network in the decades that followed,
some of which were sponsored by Texaco.  Hope's
Christmas specials were always fan favorites.  A
signature portion of his yuletide specials was his
performance of "Silver Bells" (from his 1951 film
The Lemon Drop Kid), usually done as a duet with a
featured female guest star (through the years done
with such stars as Olivia Newton-John and Brooke
Shields).  His final television special was in
1996, with guest Tony Danza helping Hope to salute
the Presidents of the United States.

==Hope's twilight==

Hope lived so long that he suffered the rare
indignity of receiving List of premature
obituaries|premature obituaries on two separate
occasions. In 1998 his death was erroneously
reported by Associated Press and then announced in
the US House of Representatives. In 2003 he was
among several famous figures who had pre-written
obituaries published on CNN's web site due to a
lapse in password protection.

Hope celebrated his 100th birthday on May 29,
2003, and might rival Irving Berlin or George
Burns as the most notable entertainment
centenarian.  In honor of Hope on his birthday,
the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine
Street in Los Angeles, California was christened
Bob Hope Square.  His centennial was declared Bob
Hope Day in 35 U.S. states.  Hope celebrated his
birthday privately in his Toluca Lake home where
he had lived since 1937.  Even at 100 years of
age, Hope maintained his sense of humor, quipping
"I'm so old, they've canceled my blood type." And
according to one of Hope's daughters, when asked
on his deathbed where he wanted to be buried, he
told his wife, "Surprise me." He died two months
later of pneumonia at 9:28 PM July 27, 2003 at his
home in Toluca Lake, north of Hollywood.

Bob Hope is interred in San Fernando Mission
Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
