Hey Otto, Mickey is only 87, he is not even close to Bob Hope or George Burns level age yet.
Some other old Studio Hands still kicking:
**June Lockhart ** born in 25 June 1925, New York, New York, USA
**Margaret O’Brien ** born 15 January 1937, San Diego, California, USA
**Lauren Bacall ** was born Betty Joan Perske on September 16, 1924 in New York City
Ernestine **Jane ** Geraldine **Russell ** was born on June 21, 1921 in Bemidji, Minnesota.

Bacall is still alive?!
Heck, I’d do 'er . . . keeping in mind images from The Big Sleep . . .

Wow. Judy Garland wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows either, you know. I mean, talk about opiate detox.

MGM studios can’t make the nut
they’re auctioning Dorothy’s shoes.
Gable is gone, the good witch is a slut
and I’ve got the parking lot blues.
The wizard brought benzadrine smiles
and he never let Dorothy doze.
She died as she walked down the aisle
and all that remains is her clothes.
Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado
can twist up a little girl´s head.
Aunt Em’s on relief and the tinman’s a thief
and even the wizard can’t wake the dead.
Clearly, we have no Bible scholars here.
Is it not written in the Book of Midgets, Ch.3 v.11-13:
"Unless the Lord shorteneth those days, Rooney, whom the unclean call The Mick, shall stalk the land on wee knobbly legs for fivescore and twelve years minus a day. Though ye may cry out and beg the Lord to “PLEASE MAKE HIM SHUT UP!” it shall not come to pass. Ye shall hear him sing and watch him dance 'til the sins of thy people are put paid.
Heck, I’d do 'er . . . keeping in mind images from The Big Sleep . . .

Not only is she still alive, she is still making movies. She also played herself getting mugged on the Sopranos in 2006. That is how I knew she was still alive.

"And her tears flowed like wine
"Yes, and her tears flowed like wine
"She’s a real sad tomato
“She’s a busted Valentiiiiine . . .”
Apropos of nothing, I recall an old bit from Mad magazine:
While I was going to St. Ives
I met a man with seven wives
I know it sounds absurd and looney,
But that poor man was Mickey Rooney!
I don’t know why MR hasn’t died, but when he does, his eternal punishment in Hell will be to watch his own performance in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. And if I had no other reason to despise him, that performance would be reason enough.
