MICKEY ROONEY

I love Mickey Rooney and I especially love the Andy Hardy series of movies, recently I was able to get a copy of Andy Hardy's Private Secretary, that makes two now in my collection. I also have a copy of Love Laughs at Andy Hardy. I recently read one of Mickey's books, Lifes Too Short. And sure Mickey could have been a little more shall we say, less descriptive in regards to his wives. But Mickey, and we have to remember this has lead an extraordinary life, even more than most "film stars". Dragged out of poverty to be become for quite a number of years the top star of MGM, then the biggest and best in the business, and then sinking to backruptcy not once but several times throughout his life. I think I know why I like Mickey so much. He is this wonderful link to the past. He was a star in the 30's and into the 40's when Private Secretary was made, and yet even today he still works. Have a look at IMDB and just see how much work he has planned and that...
