Dolores Hope, the vibrant and talented wife of the late Bob Hope, has passed away. She was a staggering 102 and had been in good health until very recently.
She died peacefully Monday morning at her home in Toluca Lake, Calif.
Born in the Bronx, Dolores was singing in a Manhattan club under the professional name Dolores Reade when newcomer Bob Hope, fresh off a performance in a Broadway show, walked into the club with the dancer George Murphy.
Hearing Reade sing "It's Only a Paper Moon," Hope said to Murphy, "I'm going to marry her." He did just that, on February 19, 1934. They raised four adopted children and remained in love until his death in 2003 at age 100.
Dolores continued to sing throughout her life, and had received many humanitarian awards and had seven Honorary Doctorates over the years.
