A new biography on legendary comedian Bob Hope titled 'Hope
Author Richard Zoglin claimed that the late comedian, who had a different girl on his arm every night had affairs with chorus girls, beauty queens, singers and showbiz wannabes, the Daily Express reported.
Zoglin revealed that Hope's affair with Welsh beauty queen Rosemarie Frankland, who was Britain's first ever Miss World, lasted for more than 30 years.
Zoglin found divorce papers dated November, 1934 for Hope and Dolores, who claimed they got hitched in February, 1934.
According to Zoglin, Hope, who was a bigamist or someone who lied about marrying Dolores, was secretly married to his Vaudeville partner Louise Troxell.
He further added that Hope, who was not a close friend of Crosby as they hardly ever socialized, told a friend that he didn't like the late singer and at times, detested him.
