Auction History Result 1r0378 BOB HOPE signed 11x14 display '70s great portrait of the comedy star with cool inscription! Date Sold 8/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 11" x 14" Display (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 this item (which is an 11" x 14" heavy board with a 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" color REPRO mounted in the center of it) has a cool inscription and personal autograph from Bob Hope (he wrote "Isn't it amazing what retouching will do?")! Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. There are some tiny chips around the edges of the board and around the edges of the REPRO. Learn More about condition grades
