1903 Bob Hope - British-born US entertainer (The Big Broadcast of 1938, numerous "Road" movies with Bing Crosby, The Lemon-Drop Kid, Boy did I Get A Wrong Number, Eight on the Lam, I'll Take Sweden, The Muppet Movie) His theme song was Thanks for the Memories. He had numerous TV specials, and has entertained troops overseas in every war from WWII to the Gulf War He was one of the greats. Even if you didn't like his comedy (which I loved) you couldn't question his character. The Air Force Museum here in Dayton has a special section dedicated just to him.
