Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney dead at 93

[shavedape]

Talk about a glutton for punishment, dude was married eight (8) times.

(One of those times was to Ava Gardner, which is kudos for him cuz he definitely married up with that one.)

Mickey Rooney was the original Hardy boy.

His 200-plus film credits notwithstanding, the spry, spirited Rooney will be best remembered for playing the impetuous title character in MGM's belovedAndy Hardy movies.

Rooney, 93, who died Sunday, leaves behind a colorful Hollywood legacy that spanned 80 years and a couple hundred films, including Boys Town and The Black Stallion.

My dad was a big fan of his.

LOVE Mickey Rooney (real name Joe Yule Jr.) - he could do it all - sing , dance , & act. He was always a champion of Judy Garland and was very scathing about how the Studio System got her addicted to drugs and then abandoned her. He was a class act all the way and will be long remembered- from a teenage Puck in A midsummer's Night's Dream (with Olivia De Havilland and James Cagney) to the beloved voice of Santa Claus (in Santa Claus is Coming to Town). RIP sir, you earned it!
