I've always heard that Rooney is a jerk, but hope he gets to live his remaining years in peace.

maybe it’s the travails of being a star from a very young age.

>”He yells and screams at Mickey. He threatens, intimidates, bullies, and harasses Mickey.<

Are we talking about Mike wallace?

You are right, everyone deserves to live in peace when they are older. It is truly a shame. Is Rooney reaping what he sowed? Who knows. But, I do hope he finds peace.

An enduring legend! What a talent!

I’m wondering if he’s still married to his wife Jan. Or is it a step son from another of the eight marriages, lol!?

It's pretty rotten when a man becomes vulnerable in his old age and some relative is pushing him around like that. Elderly abuse. I believe the judge did right, and you have to wonder if he remembers Andy Hardy's father was a judge.

The one man with more ex-wives than Larry King

I loved Mickey’s old movies when he was a kid.

1978, Rooney married Jan Chamberlin, his eighth wife. As of 2010[update], they live in Westlake Village, California. Both are outspoken advocates for veterans and animal rights.

I'm most often reminded of his WW2 and Korea entertainment efforts.

Among movie crews, his reputation is such that they've named a camera dolly move after him. A "Mickey Rooney" is a short creep.

What happened to his last wife....the one pictured for decades hovering over him at countless events and apparantly one-half of a pretty good marriage?

Is the alleged perp her son?

Well, wherever there's a will there's step-relatives relatives.

[MissTed]

Yiikes! LOL

[MinuteGal]

Let me try again, dang typos....."Well, wherever there's a will there's step-relatives".

The storied cohorts whining against Mickey Rooney could be lined up all together and NEVER cough up even a measure of the morale, sheer joy, laughter, and talent that Rooney brought to Americans, young and old, here at home and those abroad during the War years. He remains a walking history of hard times, hard work and dedication to his craft, having to navigate through the hanger’s on and naysayers, ala the scandal sheets.

Thankfully he still has that same can-do spirit and plenty of feisty spit-in-your-eye American charactor (long gone today)to tackle one more hanger-on imposing himself on Rooney’s twilight years. What a guy, that Mickey. Good for him.

[Immerito]

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful behavior.

[momtothree]

I hope he lives out the rest of his life with some peace. I don’t care if you weren’t the best father or the best husband in the world... no one deserves to be tormented when they are elderly. Just a thought.

A great film for childern: National Velvet. It also stared Elizabeth Taylor.

[Oldpuppymax]

Probably the most talented individual Hollywood has ever known. Or at least in a tie with Judy Garland.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

He has only been married 8 times.

One of his wives was Ava Gardner.
