Happy 91st birthday Mickey Rooney

[dhermann1]

Good old Mickey Rooney turns 91 today. God bless him. I saw him last year in Manhattan, and I know a lot of people in LA have seen him at various locations. Amazing that he can still put on a pretty impressive show.

91 and still going strong... Happy Birthday to Mr. Rooney

 

[LizzieMaine]

One of the last survivors of the silent era, and the Top Box Office Attraction of 1939. And if you aren't aware of that, he'll gladly tell you so. May he live to be 150.

True!

It is great he is still with us, and will be sad when not. We have few greats left.

HB to Mickey! Classy guy, and always liked his movies, etc.

Bless his heart! He has a very interesting past behind him.

He has a very interesting past behind him.

Yes: Ava Gardner.

 

[dhermann1]

He's still gloating about that more than 50 years later.

Must've been one heck of a ride. Figuratively speaking, of course.

 

[Tomasso]

Mick was quite the equestrian in his day.

 

[C-dot]

Yes: Ava Gardner.

He's still gloating about that more than 50 years later.

By all accounts including his, the wedding night was nothing to gloat about.

Somethings just make you go huh? I'm not a guy, but I'd think if you had Ava, the LAST thing you do on your wedding night is get so sloshed that you couldn't, well, you know.

Funnily enough, he didn't have such problems with the slew of affairs he had during their marriage. It always kills me how men can cheat on these beautiful women. Is nothing good enough for them?

I could explain it to you but you wouldn't buy it.

 

[Atterbury Dodd]

Glad Mickey is still around!

 

[rue]

I think he's talking about the hamburger versus steak thing.

Happy Birthday, Mickey. 91 Years Strong!!
