Mickey Rooney, looking spry. I saw him on stage in NYC in "Sugar Babies" approx. 1983.
Mickey Rooney was on Fox News today... loved how he spoke of President Reagan... and when the interviewer (been watching Fox all day, and cannot remember who it was--maybe John Gibson) began talking about Mickey Rooney's achievements, Mickey stopped him and said this was not about him--it was all about Ronald Wilson Reagan... and the music was playing to go to commercial, but he kept talking--praising RR, and saying God Bless RWR, God Bless this country, God Bless the man who ended the Cold War... etc., it was great!
Mickey Roonie is a *real* Hollywood icon. I've been enjoying some of his older, lesser known movies at Movieflix.com.
I'll never forget, as a kid, seeing the movie "Ambush Bay" and the scene where critically wounded, he stays behind brandishing a handful of grenades..
