Timeline

1933

She was born Hope Jane Zee on November 30, 1933, in Brooklyn and was raised in Manhattan. The daughter of burlesque comic-turned-Capitol Theatre producer/manager Allen Zee, who was born Allen Zaslawsky of Russian-Jewish parentage but legally changed it to "Zee" before Hope was born, the actress and her older sister Judy were pushed early into the business. Trained in ballet, tap and modern dance, Hope made her young debut with the program "Hearn's Kiddie Hour" on local New York radio where she sang and danced.

1949

Via the connections of their influential father, both Hope (billed as "Hope Zee") and Judy (billed as "Judy Sinclair") made their Broadway bows as teens in the chorus of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in 1949 starring Carol Channing. Hope went on to uneventful stints as a Ralph Flanagan band singer, nightclub performer and Copacabana attraction before returning to the stage.

1950

Was fired in the early 1950s as a band singer with Ralph Flanagan's outfit because her voice wasn't good enough.

1954

Her father changed her stage name to "Hope Holiday" (in tribute to Judy Holliday) to avoid nepotism talk when he and Guy Lombardo cast her as the "Teeny Weeny Genie" in the 1954 musical extravaganza "Arabian Nights" starring Lauritz Melchior at the Jones Beach Marine Theatre in Long Island.

1956

After a firing from the Broadway show "Top Banana," Hope's career got back on track in summer stock with such shows as "Guys and Dolls" (wherein she developed "the voice" as Adelaide), "Oklahoma!" (as Ado Annie), "Best Foot Forward" (as Ethel), and as a featured dancer in the 1956 Broadway and film version of Li'l Abner (1959). It really took off, however, after Billy Wilder cast her as Mrs.

1960

Like Judy Holliday a decade before her, Hope Holiday became known as the dame with "the voice" during the 1960s, her scratchy Brooklynese tones immediately identifiable on film and TV. This buoyant character comedienne, whose blonde tomboy looks and robust energy was reminiscent of Betty Hutton and who gained her way to fame in the films of director Billy Wilder, went on to use this unique voice several times throughout her career before phasing out and moving into producing.

Margie MacDougall, Jack Lemmon's Christmas Eve tavern pick-up, in the Oscar-winning picture The Apartment (1960). Her distinctive voice and daffy countenance was an immediate hit with audiences, which brought together the right mix of comedy and pathos to her and Lemmon's scenes.

1961

Hope's success with this led to a brief, exclusive contract with Paramount and comic Jerry Lewis and a part in his vehicle The Ladies Man (1961), not to mention several TV guest parts in such popular series as "Checkmate," "Have Gun, Will Travel," "Ben Casey," "The New Phil Silvers Show" and "The Farmer's Daughter.

1963

" She was also cast in the Billy Wilder film Irma la Douce (1963) as Lolita, the flashy Parisienne prostitute with the popping bubble gum and heart-shaped sunglasses and in the western comedy The Rounders (1965) as Henry Fonda's tart/love interest.

1967

More TV followed after her 1967 marriage (her second) to character actor Frank Marth, but Hope's acting career gradually waned, with only occasional episodic stints on such comedies as "That Girl!," "Love, American Style," "Switch" and "Vega$".
