| Details: | A companion exhibition to So Ready for Laughter: Bob Hope and World War II, The Gift of Laughter blends fact and fiction to illustrate Bob Hope’s wide-ranging career as USO entertainer, television star, and Academy Award host and the many roles comedians fill. Objects on view include an honorary Oscar presented to Hope in 1953 for “his contribution to the laughter of the world,” mementos from his later USO tours like a Viking helmet, and the outfit worn for Bob Hope’s Bicentennial Star Spangled Spectacular. Also on display is a recreation of a stage featuring costumes by Emmy Award-winning costume designer Donna Zakowska from the popular Amazon Prime Video series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, including a red, white, and blue dress worn by Miriam "Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) during a stand-up routine for the troops in season three.
