Just read that Bob Hope died to day at the age of 100. He made some o f the best funny movies and entertained many of the troops during the great wars of the last century. He may have lived in the States but he was born in the South East of London.

I have watched loads of the old black and white movies, it is sad that in a short space of time we have lost 3 great movie legends from the golden era with Gregory Peck and Katherine Hepburn.

Agree michelle, Bob Hope gave me many a giggle, especially in the films with Bing Crosby but what an achievement living to 100, still sad though he has now gone and as you say he was a movie legend.

At least he got to enjoy his 100th birthday celebrations, almost a national holiday in the USA - although he stayed home 'cos he wasn't up to all the partying...
RIP Bob

Bob Hope, made in the UK !

Went on to be a very famous funny man, starred in loads of films and TV shows. America 'adopted' him and they threw massive parties on his 100th birthday, then he died...
