On Bob Hope

Bob Hope achieved top-rated success in every mass-entertainment medium, from vaudeville to television and everything in between.

He helped redefine the very notion of what it means to be a star: a savvy businessman and public-spirited entertainer whose tireless work for charity set the standard for public service in Hollywood. Join biographer Richard Zoglin for a complex portrait of a gifted and yet flawed entertainer and star.

Richard Zoglin will sign copies of his book Hope: Entertainer of the Century following the event.
