Just heard the sad news of Bob's passing. I'm glad that he reached his milestone one-hundredth birthday, as his dear, old friend George Burns did. He is unreplaceable and will be greatly missed... :'(

Too bad. It had to come sometime, but what a ride he had. Seemed like a terrific person too. :'( :'( :'(

I feel as sad about Bob Hope's death as I did when Mr. Rogers died.
I think its because both were such inspirational people and touched so many lives worldwide.
He will truly be missed by many.

Celebrity deaths seem to always happen in groups of 3.
It will be interesting to see who #2 and #3 are this time.
Bob Hope was such a treasure to the the men and women in uniform in his numorous USO shows. He was, as one soldier put it, "...a peice of home".
Truly a National Treasure.
Man he will be missed.

R.I.P Bob, one of England's finest exports.

What he did for "the boys over there" from WWII to Desert Storm was simply amazing. Thanks for the memories. :'(

My mom told me this morning that Bob Hope had died. Very sad. He's obviously before my time, but I was familiar with the name.

I also posted this at the PPP board:
tis a sad day....one of the greatest commedians and comic actors to ever live has died at the age of 100 :'(
Woody Allen once said that paradise would be watching six Bob Hope movies in a row...Hope influenced Allen a great bit, as well as influenced many others via his movies that made Hope the quintesential anti-hero.
His work that he did with Bing Crosby is priceless. His road pictures are some of the funnyist movies to man...Road to Utopia is my favorite, but Road to Moracco, Road to Zanzibar, and Road to Rio are close seconds.
After Bings death in 1979 (I think), the producers were planning on making another Road movie with Hope and Sid Ceaser...they changed the idea around because they figured that both Hope and Ceaser were way too old to play the roles. THey instead casted Dan Ackroyd and Chevy Chase, and named the movie Spies like us.
Hopes solo movies are amazing too. Paleface, the son of Pale face, The Ruggles of Red gap, and Alias Jess James were all some of the first parodies of westerns (the only ones earlier were probably Destry rides again, Keaton's Go West, the Marx's Go west, Laurel and Hardy's Way out west, and the Hal Roach Two wagons both covered). His movie My favorite Blonde is a parody of Hitchcock like films, and his film My favorite Brunette is a Film noir spoof...these films are the reason why Hope is considered the original king of parody. Other movies like THe Ghost breakers (later remade into Martin and Lewis' Scarred stiff) and the Cat and the canary, etc, all made Hope a legend, and his work with the USO shows in 4 wars just soldified it.
Bob Hope, you will be missed....America has lost a great man. :'(

I have thought about that too.
Ronald Reagan seems to be in the final stages of Alzheimer's, according to Nancy, and I know from when my grandmother was in that stage, she was basically a vegetable and didnt know any of us or how to speak even, and death soon followed. Its a shame how that disease can literally strip a person from everything they once were.
And regarding Jerry Lewis, he just looks aweful. I'm not sure what his actual health status is though, other than the massive weight gain from the medication.
