This is L.A. Times movie writer Susan King. Welcome to the latest edition of my Classic Hollywood newsletter, where I talk about my passion for all things vintage Hollywood. Every Friday I discuss such topics as movie and TV milestones, notable births of the week, fun events around town geared to fans of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and reminisce about the legends I have interviewed over the years.
This Monday marks the 12th anniversary of the death of renowned comic actor Bob Hope at age 100. (His good friend George Burns also died at 100).
