Connection to Big Oil

[edit]

Hope was closely connected to Exxon and performed television commercials for the company. He was criticized as being too close to big business and overlooking their environmental and financial misdoings. 83.130.112.40 (talk) 09:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In his 90's,Hope made an appearance at the since defunct TOWER RECORDS on West 67th Street and Broadway in Manhattan. His wife Delores decided to catch up on the career she had given up to marry Bob, and made several singing recordings that sold well.

Hope's eyes were fiery red, I know from family experience that he must have been strongly dependent on eye medication. He had a serious hemhorrage behind one eye in the late 1960's or early 70's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.30 (talk) 19:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
