Yes and no.

At age fifteen he was sent to a boys industrial school, which was one step above reform school. He did "graduate" from this institution, and was generous to it throughout his life.

A 1947 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Rizzuto, DiMaggio, Berra, McQuinn, Reynolds, and Shea is worth about $1,200. -$1,500.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.

They are the same person. His born name was Leslie Hope, but he enjoyed being called Bob.

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were together in a total of 17 comedy movies from 1949 to 1956, starring in 14 of those. The following is a complete list of the movies in which they headlined: My Friend Irma (1949) My Friend Irma Goes West (1950)At War with the Army (1950) That's My Boy (1951)Sailor Beware (1951) Jumping Jacks (1952) The Stooge (1953) Scared Stiff (1953) The Caddy (1953) Living It Up (1954) Artists and Models (1955) You're Never Too Young (1955) Pardners (1956) Hollywood or Bust (1956) In addition to these 14 films, Martin & Lewis also appeared together in 3 Ring Circus and Money from Home, and made a cameo appearance in Bob Hope and Bing Crosby's 1952 Road to Bali.

At age 38 (in 1941) he would have been considered too old for service.

Most American entertainment stars did shows for service members, but only from the safety of American shores. Hope willingly did his shows near the front lines -- at one time they had to call off the show because enemy artillery fire was getting too close. Few people making the amount of money Hope was making at the time voluntarily went that close to actual action; most rich people in the service arranged to be at safe desk jobs.

This performer's birth name was Lester Hope, and that was the name he originally used as a performer. He later changed it to "Bob" because he thought that name made him seem more friendly.

MR. BING CROSBY'S WORTH AT DEATH WAS SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. THAt ICLUDES ALL HIS HOMES, STOCKS, INVESTMENTS AND OIL WELLS AND HIS INVENTIONS HE SPONSORED ETC. ONLY BOB HOPE CAME CLOSE AT $500.000.000.

From Forbes:

By the mid-1980s Mr. Hope, then in his 80s, was already tidying up his estate and liquidating (selling) much of his property in an orderly manner. Forbes ultimately estimated his remaining land holdings to be worth just $85 million. Throw in another $30 million he had in miscellaneous investments and you arrive at a net worth of $115 million--not quite the $200 million we had estimated a year earlier, but more than enough to collect on Mr. Hope's bet.

(At one time Forbes put Bob Hope's worth at $200.000.000 largely due to his land holdings in Palm Springs, Los Angles and many other "resort" like places. Hope publicly announced that this was a "gross exaggeration" and said if Forbes could prove that he was worth more than $75 million - Hope stated: "I will publicly kiss your ass!" They proved that Hope was worth AT LEAST $85 million - but Hope never paid up - or kissed up!)

This film starred his good friend, Bing Crosby, but not Hope himself.

I was stationed at Wheelus Air Force Base, Tripoli, Libya from October, 1962-March, 1964 and in late December, 1963, Bob Hope's tour arrived at Wheelus. I have the base newspaper from that week and am fairly sure that it was December 28th. Appearing on the show were the following: Bop Hope, Les Brown, Tuesday Weld, Miss America(Anita Bryant), ? Bubbles, a tap dancer, and Les Brown's band. Maybe one more star was present, but I would have to get my newspaper out of storage to confirm this. My squad was marched from one side of the base to the other to catch the show which occurred on a Saturday morning. Being an isolated air base, with very, very few females on base, it was a delight to see the Women. Bruce Christensen, 2106 Putnam Lane, Mt.

Bob Hope had two marriages.

One was to Grace Troxell, and occurred in 1933. A year later he was married to Dolores Reade, to whom he remained married till he died in 2003.

Hope never talked about the first marriage until, years later, it was found in county records. He said this first marriage had almost no "substance" and that it quickly ended in divorce.

Probably not.

Hope was a master at using other people's witty sayings, and saying them in just the right way to be amusing. He kept an organized collection of over half a million jokes in his papers. There is no evidence he wrote of any of them.
