In Bob Hope’s High-Flying Birthday, Elizabeth was on hand not only to help celebrate the legendary entertainer’s eighty-third birthday, but also the seventy-fifth anniversary of naval aviation. The TV special was “taped aboard the USS Lexington aircraft carrier in Pensacola, [Florida].” It also featured Mac Davis, Sammy Davis Jr., Dolores Hope, Don Johnson, Barbara Mandrell, Phylicia Rashad, Brooke Shields, Jonathan Winters, and “the astonishing feets of the Blue Angels, the US Navy’s precision flying team.”
