When I was 15 I wrote Larry a letter after getting his address out of a book
He was living in a home for old actors and had had a stroke and didn’t really have any family around him.
He wrote me back and we corresponded for about a year.
I wrote an admiring letter to Mickey Rooney in his latter years to what was supposedly a valid address. I didn’t receive an answer. I later learned it was at a time when he was being abused by relatives and hangers on.
