Just watched the highly-under-rated Human Comedy a few weeks ago, on TCM. It was some conciliation that Rooney was still breathing.

A triple threat who could act, too, when given half a chance, and not just ape, which is what he was usually called upon to do. A career longer than Bob Hope's?

Imagine. Woodrow Wilson was closing out his final term, with Edith really running things, when he was born.

I have hope at 76 years and Rooney at 88 years entertaining.
