We celebrate the 99th birthday of one of the worlds most recognized and beloved entertainers on May 29, 2002.

Bob Hope is best known as a comedian, and the guy who is always ready to fly off an entertain the troops.

But Bob also had a long career as a comic movie actor, from 1934 to 1994.

He appeared in over 80 and TV series (including cameos), and while he joked about never winning an Oscar (especially while emceeing Academy Awards shows), he has actually won four honorary Oscars, plus the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

In addition to more than 2,000 medals, awards, citations and honorary doctorates he's recieved--a Guiness World Record!

I remember when he brough Ann Margret to Osan in 68(sigh). My roomie got to guard her dressingroom (the lucky #$&%!@!)

Thanks for posting a well-deserved tribute. Bob Hope has been one of, if not the, most important morale boosters the U.S. Military has ever known. His USO Tours are the standard to which all other entertainers aspire.

God Bless a great man...

Happy Birthday Bob!

What a great man. What a great generation that gave us Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart, Milton Berle, Fred Astaire - to name just a few.
