Review:
A great read. An excellent journalist researched and wrote an excellent biography.
You see the skull beneath the skin. The brand that Bob Hope developed became the man himself. It was a wild ride in a century-long career. A fascinating glimpse into early vaudeville all the way through to the modern age of Hollywood and TV sitcoms.
