An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 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. Important Added Info: Note that studios would create photographic transparencies to promote their latest movies (or stars), and they would sometimes send these to publicists, theater owners, newspapers, and others, to aid them in promoting the movie. We cannot say for certain what the origin of this transparency is, but we feel certain it was created by the studio at the time the movie it was promoting was made! Also note that this auction also includes the envelope this item originally came with! Condition: very good. The transparency was stored in a plastic sleeve and is in pretty nice condition!
