Mickey Rooney is an American actor, vaudevillian, comedian, producer and radio personality. In his career for nine decades and continuing until just before his death, he appeared in more than 300 films and is one of the last surviving stars of the silent film era.
At the peak of a career marked by sharp decline and stalemate, Rooney performed the role of Andy Hardy in a series of 15 films in the 1930s and 1940s that symbolized the values ​​of American families. As a versatile player, he became a famous character actor later on in his career. Laurence Olivier once said that he considered Rooney "the best he ever had." Clarence Brown, who directed it in two of the earliest dramatic roles, National Velvet and The Human Comedy, said he was "the closest thing to a genius I ever worked with. "
Rooney first appeared in vaudeville as a child and debuted his film at the age of six. At 14 he plays Puck in the drama and then a 1935 adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Critics David Thomson praised his performance as "one of the most interesting pieces of magic in theaters". In 1938, she starred in Boys Town . At the age of nineteen he was the first teenager to be nominated for an Oscar for his main role in Babes in Arms, and he was awarded a special Academy Juvenile Award in 1939. At the height of his career between the ages of 15 and 25, he made 43 films, making him one of the most continuously successful actors on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and favorite MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer.
Rooney was the top box-office attraction from 1939 to 1941 and one of the best paid actors of the era, but his career would never again rise to such a height. Drafted into the Army during World War II, he served nearly two years of entertaining over two million troops on stage and radio and was awarded the Bronze Star for performing in combat zones. Back from the war in 1945, he was too old for a teenage role but too short to be an adult movie star, and was unable to get many starring roles. However, Rooney's popularity is updated with well-received support roles in movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962), This is Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), and The Black Stallion (1979). In the early 1980s, he returned to Broadway at Sugar Babies and returned to being a famous star. Rooney made hundreds of appearances on TV, including dramas, programs and talk shows, and won an Emmy in 1964, with another Emmy plus a Golden Globe for his role in Bill (1981).
At his death, Vanity Fair called him "the original Hollywood wreck." She struggles with alcohol and pills. Ava Gardner is his first wife, and he will marry again seven times. Despite getting millions during his career, he had to file for bankruptcy in 1962 due to financial mismanagement. Shortly before his death in 2014 at the age of 93, he accused persecution by several family members and testified before Congress about what he alleged was physical abuse and exploitation by family members. At the end of his life, his millions of income had shrunk into a treasure that was only worth $ 18,000. He died of medical bills and taxes, and donations were collected from the public.

Careers
Child actor
Rooney's parents split up when he was four years old in 1924, and he and his mother moved to Hollywood the following year. She made her first film appearance at the age of six in 1926, in no time Not to be Trusted . Rooney earned a small part in films such as The Beast of the City (1932) and The Life of Jimmy Dolan (1933), which allowed him to work alongside stars like Joel McCrea, Colleen Moore, Clark Gable, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., John Wayne and Jean Harlow. He enrolled in the Hollywood Professional School and then attended Hollywood High School, graduating in 1938.
Mickey McGuire
His mother saw an ad for a child to play the role of "Mickey McGuire" in a series of short films. Rooney got the role and became "Mickey" for 78 comedy, running from 1927 to 1936, starting with Mickey's Circus (1927), his first major role. During this period, he also briefly voiced Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
He made other films in his teenage years, including some McGuire movies. At the age of 15 he played the role of Puck in the adaptation of Warner Brothers stars of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1935. Rooney then moved to MGM, where he befriended Judy Garland, with whom he began to make a series musicals that drive them into stars.
Andy Hardy, Boys Town and Hollywood star
In 1937, Rooney was selected to describe Andy Hardy in the A Family Affair , which MGM planned as a B-movie. Rooney provides comic relief as the son of Judge James K. Hardy, played by Lionel Barrymore (although Lewis Stone will play the role of Judge Hardy in the next films). The film was an unexpected success, and led to 13 films Andy Hardy between 1937 and 1946, and the last film in 1958.
According to author Barry Monush, MGM wants Andy Hardy's films to attract all family members. The character of Rooney will portray a typical "typical, anxious, hyperactive, mad-crazy teenager," and he soon becomes the lead star of an undesirable movie. Although some critics describe the film series as "sweet, over idealized, and pretty much exchanged," their main success is because they gave viewers a "entertaining portrait of a small American town that seemed fitting for the time", with Rooney infusing "the eternal image of what which every teenager's parents expect. "
Behind the scenes, however, Rooney is like a "hyperactive crazy teen girl" he portrayed on screen. Wallace Beery, his co-star on Stablemates, described him as a "kid," but a "good actor". MGM head Louis B. Mayer feels the need to manage Rooney's public image, explained historian Jane Ellen Wayne:
Mayer naturally tries to keep all his child actors in line, like a father figure. After an episode like that, Mickey Rooney replied, "I will not do it. You ask the impossible." Mayer then grabs Rooney's young with his lapel collar and says, "Listen to me! I do not care what you do personally, just do not do it in public. In public, behave your fans expect that You're Andy Hardy! You're a Star and Lines Behave you! You're a symbol! "Mickey nodded. "I'll be fine, Mr. Mayer, I promise you that." Mayer took off his collar, "All right," he said.
Fifty years later, Rooney realized behind that early confrontation with Mayer it was necessary for him to develop into a leading movie star: "Everyone meddles with him, but he listens and you listen, and then you will reach an agreement with you. together... He visited the set, he gave the people the talks... What he wants is something that is
In 1937, Rooney made his first film with Judy Garland with the Thoroughbreds Do not Cry . Garland and Rooney became close friends as they co-starred in future films and became successful singing and dancing teams. The audience was delighted to see "the pleasant interaction between the two stars showcased great chemistry." Together with three films Andy Hardy, in which she portrays a girl interested in Andy, they appear together in a series of successful music, including Babes in Arms (1939). During an interview in the 1992 documentary MGM: When Roaring Lion , Rooney described their friendship:
Judy and I are very close, we can come from the same womb. We are not like brothers or sisters, but there is no love affair there; there is more than just a love affair. It is very difficult to explain the depth of our love for each other. It was very special. It is love forever. Judy, as we speak, has not died. He is always with me in every beat of my heart.
In 1937 Rooney received the top bill as Shockey Carter at Hoosier Schoolboy but his breakthrough role as a dramatic actor came in 1938 Boys Town before Spencer Tracy as Father Flanagan, who ran a home for street children and homeless people. Rooney was awarded the special Juvenile Academy Award in 1939, for "a significant contribution in bringing to the spirit screen and the personification of youth." Wayne describes one of the "most famous scenes" in the film, where a tough young Rooney plays poker with a cigarette in his mouth, his hat is pinched and his feet on the table. "Tracy picked it up on the collar, threw the cigarette and pushed it into a chair." That's better, "he told Mickey." Louis B. Mayer said Boys Town was his favorite movie for years at MGM.
The popularity of his films made Rooney win the biggest box-office in 1939, 1940 and 1941. For their roles at Boys Town, Rooney and Tracy won first and second places in the Motion Picture Herald 1940 National Polling Participant Exhibition, based on the 200-player box office appeal. Boys' Life magazine wrote, "Congratulations to Mr. Rooney and Tracy! Also to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, we thank them for their role in this extraordinary achievement." Actor Laurence Olivier once called Rooney "the greatest actor of all of them."
A major star in the early 1940s, he appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1940, timed to coincide with the release of Young Tom Edison ; cover story begins:
Office box cassette No. 1 in Hollywood in 1939 is not Clark Gable, Errol Flynn or Tyrone Power, but a kazoo-haired kid with a comic strip face, which until this week has never appeared in the picture without mugging or overkill. His name (assumed) is Mickey Rooney, and most of the US artists are more articulate, his name being a synonym that is often used for boys.
During his long and famous career, Rooney also worked with many screen lady stars, including Elizabeth Taylor at National Velvet (1944) and Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). "Rooney's" bumptiousness and boyish charm "as the actor will develop more" fluency and polish "over the years, wrote Scott Eyman's biography.The fact that Rooney fully enjoys his life as an actor plays a major role in the change:
You will not work, you will have fun. At home, everyone is united; it's family. One year I made nine pictures; I have to go from one set to another. It was like I was in a conveyor belt. You do not read the manuscript and say, "I think I'll do it." You did it. They have people who know the kind of story that suits you. It's a conveyor belt that makes movies.
Clarence Brown, who directed Rooney in an Oscar-nominated performance at The Human Comedy (1943) and again at National Velvet (1944), enjoyed working with Rooney in the film:
Mickey Rooney is the closest thing to a genius I have ever worked with. There's Chaplin, then there's Rooney. That little bastard made no mistake in my book... All you have to do with him is train him once.
World War II and career decline
In June 1944, Rooney was inducted into the United States Army, where he served over 21 months (until shortly after the end of World War II) entertaining troops in America and Europe in Special Services. He spent part of his time as a radio character in the American Troopers Network and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal to entertain troops in the combat zone. In addition to the Bronze Star Medal, Rooney also received the Military Expert Medal, the US Campaign Medal, the European-African-Middle East Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal, for his military service.
Rooney's career slumped after returning to civilian life. He is now an adult with a height of only 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) and he can no longer play the role of a teenager, but he also lacks the stature of most leading men. She appeared in a number of films, including Words and Music in 1948, which paired her for the last time with Garland in the movie (she appeared with her on one episode as a guest at The Judy Garland Show ). He starred in the CBS radio series, Shorty Bell, in the summer of 1948, and changed his role as "Andy Hardy", with most of the original players, in a syndicated radio version of The Hardy Family in 1949 and 1950 (repeated on Mutual for 1952).
In 1949 Variety reported that Rooney had renegotiated his deal with MGM. He agreed to make one film a year for them for five years at $ 25,000 film (the cost until then was $ 100,000 but Rooney wanted to enter independent production.)

On December 31, 1961, Rooney appeared on Television What's My Line and mentioned that he's started enrolling students at the MRSE (Mickey Rooney School of Entertainment). His school business never worked. This is a period of professional pressure for Rooney; as a childhood friend, director Richard Quine said: "Let's face it. It's not that easy to find a role for a 5-foot-3 man who's past Andy Hardy's age." In 1962, his debt had forced him to file for bankruptcy.
In 1966, Rooney worked on the movie Ambush Bay in the Philippines when his wife Barbara Ann Thomason - a former model and aspiring actress who has won 17 direct beauty contests in Southern California - was found dead. in his bed.

Francis Ford Coppola bought the rights to make The Black Stallion (1979), and when casting, he called Rooney and asked if he thought he could play the jockey. Rooney replied, "Yes, I do not know, I've never played jockey before." He jokes, he says, because he has played jockeys in at least three previous films, including Down the Stretch, Thoroughbreds Do not Cry, and National Velvet >. The film received excellent reviews and earned $ 40 million in its first term, which gave Coppola's studio, American Zoetrope, a big push.

Legacy
Rooney is one of the last surviving actors of the still image era. His film career stretches 88 years, from 1926 to 2014, continuing until just before his death. During his peak years from the late 1930s to early 1940s, Rooney was one of the top stars in the United States.
He made forty-three pictures between the ages of 15 and 25. Among them, his role as Andy Hardy became one of "the most beloved Hollywood characters," with Marlon Brando calling it "the best actor in the movie." For his acting in fifteen films Andy Hardy, he received an honorary Oscar in 1938 for "bringing to the spirit screen and personification of youth" and for "setting high standards of ability and achievement."
"There's nothing he can not do", says actress Margaret O'Brien. MGM boss Louis B. Mayer treats him like a son and sees in Rooney "the embodiment of a friendly American child who stands for families, humbugs, and sentiments," writes critic and writer David Thomson.
By the time Rooney was 20, his consistent portrayal of youth and energy showed that his future success was endless. Thomson also explains that Rooney's character is capable of encompassing various types of emotions, and gives three instances where "Rooney is not only a genius actor, but an artist able to retain a stylish remark at a demon's impulse from small, human warfare:
Puck Rooney at A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935) is completely inhumane, one of the most interesting pieces of magic in theaters.... his Hardie in Boys Town (1938) struts and bullies like something out of a nightmare and then becomes cleaner in a cruel yet overt explosive sentimentality where he aspires to the community boys... Her role as Baby Face Nelson (1957), manic, destructive response of the dwarf against the pig community.
In the late 1940s, Rooney's movie character was no longer in demand and his career declined. "In 1938," he said, "I starred in eight pictures.In 1948 and 1949, I only starred in three." However, film historian Jeanine Basinger notes that although his career "reaches heights and falls to the depths, Rooney continues to work and flourish, a sign of a professional." Some films that revive its popularity, are Requiem for Heavy Class (1962), This is Crazy World, Mad, Crazy, Crazy (1963) and The Black Stallion (1979). In the early 1980s, he returned to Broadway at Sugar Babies, and "found himself once again back up."
Basinger tries to sum up Rooney's career:
Rooney's abundant talent, like the image of his film, may seem like a metaphor for America: a seemingly inexhaustible natural resource that can never dry up, but which, it turns out, can be undermined by overuse and abuse, by arrogance or power, and which should be carefully tended to be restored to full capacity. From child stars to character actors, from movie shorts to television specials, and from movies to Broadway, Rooney has finally proven that he can do everything, do it well, and continue to do so. His career is unique, both for his versatility and his long life.
