He was married - for a time - to Ava Gardner - felt by many to be the most beautiful woman ever. For that alone, I salute Mr. Rooney!

And also immortalized by Ray Davies and the Kinks in the song “Celluloid Heroes”:

If you covered him with garbage
George Sanders would still have style
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile
But please don’t tread on dearest Marilyn
Cause she’s not very tough
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood

Ava Gardner.....WOW!
Getting that is one thing but losing it.....

RIP Mr. Rooney
