Mickey Rooney Week

Hello readers of the bizarre, goofy and serious nature and welcome.  This week we take time to honor a Hollywood legend that has worked with the likes of Spencer Tracy, Anthony Quinn, James Cagney, Eva Gardner, Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn and many others.  A man that bright us tears of laughter, dazzled us with song and dance numbers and could even emote drama to the likes I would not have thought him capable of.  This cinema giant was all of 5 foot 2 inches and yet he towered over his co-stars.   I speak of the late Mickey Rooney.

Gosh, Mr. Fields let me have one of his Ceegars!

From musicals to shorts to voice acting in cartoons; this man has done it all and was still working up to the day he passed on.  With his substantial baby-face affliction, he portrayed a wily teenager up to his late twenties.   With over 338 acting credits to his name, 7 productions and 4 directorates our Mr. Rooney did his level best to bring entertainment to the world, so it is only fitting and fair we give him a worthy send off with a few choice titles for the week.   Join me now for Mickey Rooney Week, because there will never be another of his like.
