A Matted Radio Magazine Original Art (measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Bob Hope (born Leslie Townes Hope) was an English-born top Hollywood comedian and actor from the 1930s to the 1990s. He was briefly a boxer in his youth (as Packy East), and that is where he acquired his distinctive ski-shaped nose. Some of his movies include: Story of G.I. Joe, The Cat and the Canary, The Ghost Breakers, My Favorite Blonde, and the "Road" movies he made with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, including Road to Morocco. In spite of his great success, Hope never won an Oscar, although he hosted several of the Oscar telecasts! Hope was also well known outside of movies, especially for his entertaining of U.S. troops overseas, for his charity golf tournament, and his many hostings of the Oscar ceremonies. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 100. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this auction is for original art of Bob Hope about to do a radio ad, and he has to choose between the actual script and an "ad-lib" script. On the back is a stamp from a printing company and it says the customer is "Radio Life", so we think that this is original art for a story that appeared in that magazine, but there could be another explanation. The art is unsigned, and we don't know who the artist is. It is taped to the back of a mat (see our images). Condition: very good. The art is taped to the back of a mat. The mat has stains at the bottom, but the art could easily be removed from it and re-matted. Learn More about condition grades
