      Mickey Rooney: Hollywood's Little Giant

      Nobody Has Entertained Us For As Long As Mickey Rooney - An Amazing Life!

      If someone asked me, "Who do you think has had the most amazing career in the show business?," I think would have to answer: "Mickey Rooney." Who has entertained longer? Nobody. He's still acting at the age of 88 after beginning with vaudeville acts in Kansas City at the age of two and in Hollywood films at the age of five. Rooney has done it all: comedies, musicals, dramas, suspense.....you name it. A film star, a Broadway star, a man who earned a Bronze Star for his entertaining the troops on the front lines in World War II.

      Here's a guy who has been married eight times, a man addicted to gambling and pills, a guy who was the number one box office hit in America for years and then a nobody, only to rise again at the age of 60........on and on. His career and his life, in general, is just unbelievable!

      It's no wonder that
