EDITORS COMMENTS
Bob Hope 1952 arriving in London, donning his iconic ten-gallon hat. Born on May 29th, 1903, Bob Hope was a vaudeville comedian and singer who rose to fame as part of 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 1940 when he teamed up with Bing Crosby for their first road movie, 'Road to Singapore, ' that Hope truly became a household name. Throughout the 1940s and beyond, Bob Hope embarked on numerous overseas tours to entertain US troops stationed abroad – a practice he continued until later years. In addition to his successful career as an entertainer, he also founded several film production companies starting from 1948. Bob Hope received three honorary Academy Awards and a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in recognition of his contributions both on and off-screen. He became one of the major movie stars of the '40s and '50s; nearly half of Paramount's major hits during that time featured him alongside Bing Crosby. With an estimated net worth of $280 million by 1982, Bob Hope ranked among the wealthiest individuals within the entertainment industry. Despite always being surrounded by beautiful women throughout his career, it is said that he rarely got the girl himself. Bob Hope's comedic image has endured through generations and ranks alongside Charlie Chaplin as an iconic figure representing mass media era humor. From humble beginnings as a stand-up comic to becoming a cultural icon worldwide – this is the legacy left behind by Bob Hope.
