Date Sold 10/28/2010Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 10 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (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 is a special lot of "portrait" stills that were consigned to us by an individual who collected portraits of stars he liked over many decades! Each of the lots contain a number of ORIGINAL stills of a well known celebrity (there are 40 lots in all, and each is in its own auction), and the star is prominently pictured in ALL of the stills in that lot! Each of the lots contain a wide variety of stills of that particular star, covering different movies they made, and from different points in their career. Please note: many of these stills are in SUCH excellent condition that a person viewing them might well wonder if they are reproductions, but we assure you they are not! They were purchased decades ago (in many cases, when the movies came out), and they were in "brand new" condition at that time, and have been carefully stored ever since, so that explains why the condition is SO fine (and it also means this is a really rare opportunity to acquire multiple ORIGINAL portraits of a single star (there are NO repros in any of the lots)! Condition: very good to fine. Note that three of the stills are TV stills (from Hope's TV appearances) and that they measure 7 1/2" x 9". Learn More about condition grades
