BOB HOPE (MAN) LET'S FACE IT: THE RUBBER LATEX MASKS WHICH YOU CONCIEVED OF, AND CREATED AND USED, FOR THE FILM, "ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL" ARE A MASTERPIECE OF MURDER. WHEN IT COMES TO THE SOURCES FOR THE RUBBER ... WHERE'S WHERE?

LITTLE KOJAKJul 31, 2010

I got to meet Bob`s cue-cards writer in 1979. He planned to retire in another year. So I took the liberty of asking him point blank what it was like having worked for the star for nearly 30 years. `He was very difficult to work for...very demanding.` I couldn`t get him to elaborate. Shucks.

LITTLE KOJAKJul 31, 2010

The truth of the matter is: When there was Hope, there was Bob...When all Hope was gone, there was Bing. But sad to say... both are gone.

Bob`s wife Delores is a true saint for putting up with his other women throughout their marriage!
