Auction History Result 6s136 BOB HOPE signed 8x10 still '60s great portrait of the comedian wearing a suit & tie! Date Sold 10/24/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (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 still has been personally autographed (signed) by Bob Hope! Note that the still (and 23 others) comes from the collection of a man who managed the largest movie theater in Louisiana from the 1940s through the 1970s, and many premieres and special showings were held at his theater over the years. Sometimes the stars or the directors would attend those showings, and when they did, he would always have the star autograph an 8x10. This autograph was obtained in person from the star by this theater owner! Condition: very good. Mr. Hope signed the still in a fine blue ink pen, and it is difficult to read against the gray background and his black coat (you can clearly read the writing when you tilt it to the light, but when looking straight on, it is quite difficult to see).
