BOB & BROOKE A STRANGE RELATIONSHIP

Bob Hope, a Londoner born in 1903 and Brooke Shields, born in New York in 1965 shared a working relationship that bordered on the bizarre. A new starlet ascending the Hollywood ladder and a legend considered passé often pictured together, usually with Bob wearing outfits and wigs of varying degrees of silliness. For some reason Brooke consigned the relationship to the dustbin when recollecting her journey to stardom, perhaps reflecting that on the way up Hollywood demands that you step over those on the way down.
