He appeared in more than 70 short and feature films, starring in 54, including a series of seven Road to ... musical comedy films with Bing Crosby as his partner. He reached his 100th birthday 59 days before he died in 2003. Hope hosted the Academy Awards ceremony a record 19 times. He also appeared in many stage productions and television roles and wrote 14 books. The song "Thanks for the Memory" was his signature tune. He was praised for his comedic timing, specializing in one-liners and rapid-fire delivery of jokes that were often self-deprecating. Between 1941 and 1991, he made 57 tours for the United Service Organizations (USO), entertaining military personnel around the world. In 1997, Congress passed a bill that made him an honorary veteran of the Armed Forces. Hope was born in the Eltham district of southeast London. He arrived in the United States with his family at the age of four, and grew up near Cleveland, Ohio. He became a boxer in the late 1910s, but moved into show business in the early 1920s, initially as a comedian and dancer on the vaudeville circuit before acting on Broadway. He began appearing on radio and in films in his 30s, starting in 1934. Hope retired from public life in 1999 and died in 2003, at 100. On July 27, 2003, Hope died of pneumonia at his home in Toluca Lake, California. His grandson Zach Hope told Soledad O'Brien in an interview that, when asked at the end of his life where he wished to be buried, he said, "Surprise me". His remains were temporarily placed in a mausoleum vault at the San Fernando Mission Cemetery before the construction of the Bob Hope Memorial Garden at the San Fernando Mission, located next door to the cemetery, in Los Angeles. Dolores died in 2011, aged 102. After his death, newspaper cartoonists worldwide paid tribute to his work for the USO, and some featured drawings of Bing Crosby, who had died in 1977, welcoming Hope to Heaven.
