TWO LIFE-LONG HOLLYWOOD FRIENDS SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT AT JULIEN’S AUCTIONS EXCLUSIVE PRESS EXHIBITION COLLECTIONS FROM THE ESTATES OF BOB & DOLORES HOPE AND OF THE FIRST LADY OF STAND-UP COMEDY PHYLLIS DILLER

Julien’s Auctions, the world’s premier celebrity and entertainment auction house, announced an exclusive press exhibition for the collections of two of Hollywood’s most prominent entertainers and life-long friends.

Bob Hope was one of the world’s most prolific entertainers with a career that spanned more than 60 years and included vaudeville, radio, film and television. Often referred to as “Mr. Entertainer,” Hope was a comedian, actor, singer, dancer and author. He was also a golfer who established the Pro-Am tournament as a way to raise funds for charity. Bob & Dolores Hope’s commitment to the men and women who served their country was legendary. Their USO (United Service Organizations) shows around the world between 1942 and 1988 earned Bob Hope a Congressional declaration designating him an honorary veteran of the United States Armed Forces, an honor he said was the greatest one of his life. Memorabilia including Presidential items, military memorabilia, golf related items, antiques and personal effects will be highlighted during the press exhibition.

Phyllis Diller, a pop culture icon and first lady of stand-up comedy is known for her self-deprecating humor. In the 1960s her fame skyrocketed after appearing on several of Bob Hope’s television specials, USO tours and three movies. They instantly became life-long friends. Her signature blonde wig, long cigarette holder and loud cackling laugh has yet to be duplicated, giving her a place in comedic history as the very first female trailblazer of her time. The auction will include extraordinary costumes, wigs and jewelry from her professional stage and television appearances, together with outstanding antiques, artwork, and memorabilia from her longtime residence on South Rockingham Avenue in Los Angeles. The auctions will take place September 20-22, 2013.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
