Hope, a native of Nova Scotia, got into the acting profession on a lark.  Because her father was in the military, the family was frequently moving.  At 13, she was attending school in Victoria, British Columbia, hoping she would later make it to Harvard Law School.  When she was 15, the family moved to Italy, and Hope stayed at boarding school to finish her pre-university training.  But she rebelled, announcing her intention to become an actor, not a lawyer.

In her spare time, Hope travels to exotic locales such as Peru, Laos, Cuba , Iceland, China,  Turkey. and the Ecuadorian jungle, where she Lived with the Hourani tribe in the rainforest.
