Mickey Rooney Dead -- Legendary Actor Dies at 93
Mickey Rooney, who spent nearly his entire life in the show business, died today. He was 93.

 Rooney had been in ill health for quite some time.

He was one of the most famous child actors in entertainment history.  He play the role of Andy Hardy in 20 films.

Rooney also teamed up with Judy Garland for "Babes in Arms" which was a huge hit back in 1939.

He was the first teenager ever to be nominated for an Oscar for his leading role in "Strike Up the Band" in 1940.

I saw him in Yankee Doodle Dandy in the late 60's in the Colonie area.
The name of the theater escapes me.
RIP Mickey.
You will be missed

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Hey, what do you know, I saw him do that play in Charlotte, N.C. in the late 60's. He was pretty good in it.

RIP
