Posts: 2019 | Quote: Evenbob Beyond a shadow of doubt, Hope and Crosby. In their
day they were mega stars, especially Bing Crosby. In
the 30's and into the 40's, Crosby was by far the biggest
singing star in the world. And to this day, he's still
the 3rd biggest movie box office star, behind Clark
Gable and John Wayne. And his song White Christmas
is still the best selling single of all time. They pressed
so many that in 1947 a new master had to be made
because the old one was wearing out.
The 7 'Road' movies Hope and Crosby made were
wildly successful, especially the first 5. It made
super stars out of them and their casual onscreen
demeanor is unmatched in any other team.
They made hundreds of appearances with each
over the decades, and were even business partners
in real estate and oil. Yet they never had dinner
together, never went to each others homes, never
did anything together socially. It was a business
relationship only.
Which was probably wise. Look what happened to
Lewis and Martin. There's was all business too in
the last couple of years together, but only because
they hated each others guts by then.
Bing had to have something to do in between beating his kids |
