My birthday song, my happy world (Part 290).......

 Badass Birthday

On this date in 1903 in London England, Bob Hope was born. 


He was a multi-talented actor, comedian, entertainer and producer who's career spanned 80 years!    He got his start in vaudeville and starred in radio, television, movies (54 to be exact) and on many USO tours (57 tours between 1941 and 1991).

He hosted 19 Academy Awards.  He appeared on stage multiple times an wrote 14 books.   He was quick with a one-liner and "Thanks For The Memories" was his signature song.  I can remember, as a kid in the 70s, watching Bob Hope specials on TV.  

Bob Hope, a comedy of badassatude.
