Mickey Rooney

Yesterday was Mickey Rooney's 85th birthday (and my Aunt Janet's birthday). Not only is he an actor and performer, but he's an American institution!
For more information on Mickey go to www.MickeyRooney.org or www.MickeyRooney.com
He's made over 200 filmes from the 1920's to the present. TCM was going to show 14 hours of his films, but since director Robert Wise died, they changed the schedule to show his movies instead. I was a bit disappointed. He has an autobiography titled Life Is Too Short. It's really good!
On another note, on Jackie Cooper's birthday I recorded all his movies on TCM. I'm about half-way through the set. I wanted to see why everyone thought he was such a great child actor. Well I found out and they're right! If you ever get a chance, definitely check out When a Fellow Needs a Friend http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023688/. It's really good.
He and Mickey were both great! True living legends! :)
