(dpa files) - US comedian Bob Hope pictured in the United States, 1950. On 29 May 2003 he will celebrate his 100th birthday. He was born Leslie Townes Hope on 29 May 1903 in Eltham near London and emigrated with his parents to the USA in 1907. After some years on the stage as a dancer and comedian, he made his first film appearance in 'The Big Broadcast' of 1938 singing 'Thanks for the Memory', which became his signature tune. In partnership with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, he appeared in the highly successful 'Road to...' comedies (1940-52) and in many others until the early 1970s. During World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars he spent much time entertaining the troops in the field. For these activities and for his continued contributions to the industry he was given a special Academy Award on five occasions. Hope also holds two entries in 'The Guinness Book of World Records', one for being the entertainer with 'the longest running contract with a single network' - spanning sixty-one years - and the second for being the 'most honored entertainer', with over 1500 awards. In 1998 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth.
