Bing Crosby
.
Born May 2, 1903 Died: October 14, 1977
Actor, Singer. He is best remembered for his many "Road" movies with costar Bob Hope, for such classic movies as "Going My Way," "White Christmas," and for such songs as "White Christmas." When one of his songs became successful on the radio in 1931, it brought him to the attention of Hollywood. Paramount Pictures included him in the movie, "The Big Broadcast of 1932," and his relaxed, low key style hit just the right note with the audience, making him a star. In 1940, Crosby was teamed with his friend, Bob Hope, in "The Road to Singapore" and the combination of jokes, songs, romance, burlesque and exotic locations (it was actually filmed in Hollywood, not in Singapore), made the pair a hit. In the film "Holiday Inn," he sang Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" and it went on to become one of the biggest selling records for the next 50 years. Crosby died of a heart attack on a golf course in Madrid, Spain, in 1977.
