Have no idea, but I would imagine his Presidential Library would be the first place to check with.

He is definitely a class act and a reminder of a more genteel and less septic time.
also: the late Ray Charles was born on this day in 1930
I'll second that and also say, Mickey if your watching. a big ..
..and many more!
I'm not sure, but Andy Hardy sure lined 'em up and knocked t'em down. Those were great movies. My favorites were the "Blondie" series, but I can't find them on a decently mastered DVD. I've started calling my youngest girl "Baby Dumpling" ;)
I was unaware Ray Charles was born on the same date. We shall miss him but his music lives on.
You can get Blondie on VHS.
Hopefully they will release them over to DVD soon.
A couple of other late 1930's & early 1940's series you would really like is the Edgar Kennedy & his loafing brother-in-law.
Leon Errol is another hilarious shtick artist - a laugh a second.
" Lemme tell ya, this guy, with his talent, wow, if he were only a few inches taller,"
The name is Grady , five-feet short in stockings and boots , a slightly distorted offshoot of a goof breed of human beings who race horses . He happens to be one of the rotten apples , bruised and yellowing by dealing in dirt , a short man with a short memory who's forgotten that he's worked for the sport of kings and helped turn it into a cesspool , used and mis-used by the two-legged animals who've hung around sporting events since the days of the Coliseum . So this is Grady on his last night as a jockey . Behind him are Haileah , Hollywood Park and Saratoga . Rounding the turn and coming up fast on the rail - is The Twilight Zone ...
How can Warren Beatty be honored by the Kennedy Center, but not Mickey?
I heard he's set to make a semi-autobiographical film which has him leaving Hollywood and running a dairy processing plant. It's tentatively titled...get ready for it....Mickey Rooney and Cheese...
Actually, I've already admired Mickey on the screen, and especially liked him in "The Black Stallion".
Since Mickey is a conservative and those deciding on which P/C quests will preform at the Kennedy Center are not, Mickey is far better.
Friday evening Mickey celebrated his 85th birthday at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Mass for he & his wife's weekend engagement of ''Let's Put on a Show,". The Boston Globe reported Mickey stating "The best things that ever happened to me are winning a bronze star and Jan," .
"He's a total psychotic. He's very adorable, but there isn't enough Ritalin in the world for him." -- Nathan Lane on Mickey Rooney
Wild stuff! Thanks for the photo of Mickey.
