Bob Hope met his wife Dolores when she was a singer in a nightclub in 1934 - the two were married just a few months later. Dolores joined her husband in his vaudeville act but then she retired from the stage temporarily to bring up their four children Linda, Anthony, Kelly and Nora. In the late 1940s she returned to the limelight when she began helping her husband entertain U.S. troops around the world.
