I spoke with their florist in a private butler's pantry during the party and he told me how Hope had cheated on Dolores so many times but she refused to divorce him. Then Hope made a speech about how great his wife was and he had to read it off of cue cards his minions held on the floor in front of him! I thought it was so weird that he couldn't think on his own of anything nice to say about her and neededcue cards in his own home!! The whole thing was bizarre.

The really interesting thing was some faded stars of old had interesting stories about Bob Hope. It seems he helped quite a few people develop income properties. And those properties were giving these people a good income after they were no longer performing. Bob Hope may have been famous as an entertainer. But he appears to have acquired more wealth by selling and developing real estate for people.

Bob Hope was a sex addict like many performers, such as Al Jolson, Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and countless musicians. When you perform you can get very high almost to the point of hysteria. To calm down, performers often go to alcohol and sex. I've met many musician-groupies and actor-groupies. To this day, I don't understand them. Maybe there's a woman somewhere who can explain why so many girls throw themselves at these performers when, ordinarily, they are as modest and prudent as other women.

There are still a lot of little "Bobs" (and grandson Bobs) running around out there.

I soon got what they meant when I replayed it and saw sitting very near to Bob in some movie theater seats a so-called "adopted" relative of his, named Tony.

My late husband once sat next to Bob Hope in first class on a commercial flight from NYC to LA. After his experience speaking with the terse and unpleasant Hope, who was not a bit funny, but bitter, negative, and unbearable in his attitudes, my husband was so disappointed with his former admiration, he never liked or trusted a celebrity again...and he also was told, by the star, that all his material was written for him...

He had a big ego. Like so many big stars, and they never know when to retire. They also don’t know how to “keep it in their pants”. All part of the ego getting fed.

I met an old show girl, back in the early 1990s, who worked with Bob and she told me stories about the dalliances of "Uncle Bob", on tour.

Hope was famously disliked in Hollywood. His writers HATED him. He paid them poorly and never gave them credit. The idea that any old-school Hollywood stars were 'faithful' is silly - they were all on the road or on location banging everything in sight. I doubt their wives had any illusions about it. Even George Burns confessed posthumously that he cheated on Gracie. He knew she knew - they never discussed it - he sent her a mink coat, and they never discussed it. According to Burns, it was a one-time slip.

Fact is, American morality regarding all classes is a very new phenomenon in the US, only starting after the implementation of the Hays Code in 1934. The wealthy, powerful, and famous ALWAYS got a pass as they were viewed as gods among mere mortals. They were not bound by the rules of the rank and file. Then the depression hit, people blamed the crash on gluttony, avarice, and extreme moral turpitude of the residents of the Garden of Allah which brought about the Hays Code in 1934. After that, they were no longer gods, just rich assholes being rich assholes while the masses suffered and died.

An affair or two can be forgiven. Living a bachelor life & just checking in with the wife once in a while is a COLLABORATION. If Mrs. Hope wasn't just in it for the money & the famous last name, she sure did a good imitation of it.

Hope was one of the biggest phonies in Hollywood and a real turd the way he treated people. His snide looks and remarks were evident in his monologues. Always a biting, sarcastic humor.

The party scene in eye's wide shut was a huge clue and many missed it or didn't believe it

Hope was a very unamusing free mason with dark connections. He outlived his welcome.

In the early 1980’s, my mom babysat the child of a doctor and his wife in NoCAL. The mother of the wife would often come by to visit her granddaughter while my mom was there babysitting, and they got to talking. Long story short…the grandmother explained that though her daughter knew she was an adopted child, what she didn’t know is that she was the child of Bob Hope and some starlet. My mom said there could be no denying, since the woman’s daughter bore a striking resemblance to Hope, especially the famous “ski slope” nose. Hope apparently fathered quite a few illegitimate children, which is why I find it ironic that he and his wife adopted their four children. I was peripherally acquainted with one of Hope’s adopted children, who spoke very highly of Bob and Delores as parents, only complaining that their Christmases were never like the Hollywood ideal presented in all of Bob Hope’s many Christmas shows, simply because Hope was never home for the holidays with the family. So, though he may have been a major womanizer, among other things, Hope must be given credit for his outstanding efforts to entertain servicemen who couldn’t be home with their families. I never cared for him as a cue-card reading stand up, but I still love watching him in movies. Woody Allen, another notorious womanizer, credits Bob Hope’s comedic timing in movies to his own delivery, and if you think about it and watch both of them, you can really see it. No one is perfect, and perhaps those who give a great deal to others often feel entitled then to take what they want, particularly from people wanting to give to them, which explains why so many women were willing to throw themselves at a man who, imo, was about as far away from a sexy man as one can get!
