Mickey Rooney dies aged 93

"Mickey Rooney, who spent nearly his entire life in the show business, died today. He was 93."

"Rooney appeared most recently in "the Muppets" in 2011 with Amy Adams and Jason Segal and "Night at the Museum" in 2006 with Ben Stiller"

One of very few times I've heard someone in showbiz died when I already thought they had been dead...

RIP.

Happy the man got to live a full life.

May he R.I.P.

93, well done.

I'm waiting for the amount of surprised people when new comes of Abe Vigoda's passing.

Sad to hear about Mickey Rooney.

@hallenbeck77: I'd be more interested in knowing the number of people who actually know who Abe Vigoda is.

I'm old school. I remember him from Barney Miller reruns growing up.

And I just proved how old I am, being there's probably only a handful of people who know about Barney Miller.

@hallenbeck77: Was with you with Abe then you lost me at Barney Miller. Fine, you win this time grandpa =/

*In crochety old fart voice*

"In my day, our video games came with one button controllers and two colored graphics...and that's how we liked them, dadgummit!"

@hallenbeck77: Now you p*ssies call yourselves gamers, with your checkpoints and your saves, difficulty sliders and fancy-schmancy mods. Bet you little sh*ts couldn't even beat Contra!"

Sorry for derailing the thread. Shutting up now =X

RIP

I always loved his roles in movies. Sad to see him go, but at least he lived to a ripe old age before going.

his only movie that I actually watch

dafuq is that?

I don't know the guy, but I recognized his name thanks to that Seinfeld episode when Kramer goes to Californian to become an actor. Something about the three stooges and how that old lady was engaged to this Rooney who proceeded to leave her at the alter rofl

@SaintLeonidas:

Yes, I thought he was long gone as well....in fact I thought Mickey Rooney would have been over 100 by now.

He was in The Godfather as well, I remember him well, but then again I'm 52.

I remember him in the final minutes of the first film, but I didn't know about that until I got much older.

I wonder if Turner Classic Movies will do some sort of retrospective about his life and career within the next few weeks. It'd be a shame if they didn't.

"Bill like chicken!"

@hallenbeck77: Just googled him, Look Who's Talking... I never forget a face... even if i've only seen it once about 20 years ago.
