I had the misfortune of being his "Talent Supervisor" at a number of events in the early 2000's. He was an angry little man with major personality issues.
Met him after a show in Muncie Indiana about that time. Seemed ok...standard "meet and greet" kinda thing. He did sign an autograph for the son of a friend...but wasn't happy about it.
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland made such great movies together. It’s like a Time Machine back to the 1930s-40s it’s so sad how they were both forced to take performance drugs and Judy was put on strict diets.
Mickey Rooney & his wife Jan were neighbors of my wife's cousin in Westlake Village, Calif. for years, until just before his death in 2014 & I've been by his home there! I met & spoke to him in 1981, when he opened his fast-food restaurant "Mickey Rooney's Wienie World",in Massapequa, NY! At 61, he was as energetic as ever! He did "his own thing" all his life & still lived to 93! R.I.P. Mick!
I met him at the Coco’s restaurant in Westlake Village in 1995, where I worked as a waitress!!! I was so excited when he walked in, I said, “you’re Mickey Rooney”!!!, and he smiled so big, and gave me a hug and talked to me a little bit. He was great!!
Honestly if you took his situation and put it in today's world, some of the women that he was with on the side and people who knew about his other issues would've exposed him. It seems like the dirty info comes from uncontrollable third parties now a days. The internet makes exposing people so easy.
Most beautiful & famous women marry ugly, old or guys with some physical wantings. Why? Because they have money and or/power. Rooney was the biggest star on planet earth before world war 2, he was ridiculously charismatic, smart, rich, powerful, and a decent enough looking guy...certainly much better than guys like Harvey Weinstein and these other Hollywood womanizers. It's sad that alcohol ruined his life tho 😔 It seems like every famous child actors that is around Hollywood their whole lives is damned....Rooney was born in this industry, he really never had a chance. I think criticisms of him are unwarranted....it's kinda amazing he even lived past the 70's.
He was a talented and gifted actor. His personal life is just that HIS own. I enjoyed all his movies especially with Judy Garland and their chemistry acting.
Thank you for pointing that out. True!! I love Mickey and he was a talented actor. It is a shame that his private life was put out there. Like none of us have any faults....?!
I met the scumbag when I was in the third grade when he came to Colfax Elementary School in North Hollywood. Luckily, his costar was given a black eye by a school mate when he made fun of the kid for being poor
At first I thought it was a Mickey Rourke title so I was confused for a moment (quick reading) and then I realized it was someone else ☺, it’s almost 2 in the morning
Wow I did not know about all of those poor used lady's. All I can really say is, " all of the mothers out there that are reading these comments, please take note. If you have a son teach him respect for women. And if you have daughters teach them the signs of an unfaithful man and how to have respect for themselves not to except that kind of treatment no matter how much you love them."
I agree with you… I’m a widow… I had 6 children with my late husband and we always taught our kids to respect… He never had respect for women… That’s why he treated them like shit !!! I worked for Off Track Betting… Which is a gambling place… On horses… He came to my window and treated me very disrespectful… I can’t understand how these women fell for him ?! So sad
How much did these "poor used ladies collect in alimony" ?? Rooney was a major star with the bankroll to prove it how many of these "poor used ladies" did not know that before they "married"
@@jayhenderson8483If you were paying attention to the video you would’ve heard that he had a heavy gambling problem, where even a gift he had given to his wife as an apology for his infidelity had to be returned to pay off his debts. Most of these women were also successful in their own right. Quite trying to vilify them for the sake of justifying his hurtful behaviour, weirdo.
I don't care about his personal life .I loved him as an amazing actor.I saw all his movies and loved every one of them.Its sad that he couldn't stay married very long,but sometimes that is the way it goes.I loved him as a very accomplished actor.I not judging him for what he did off screen or in what he did in his personal life.
She ruined every man she had a serious relationship with. And she was far from gifted. She was beautiful, so they transformed her from a model, into an actress. Her beauty far out weighed her talent.
That reality show Jan (final wife) tried to sell was a train wreck. I can see abuse from both sides by Mickey and Jan in the episodes on TH-cam. I always thought Mickey and Judy were lovers, but I guess not.
I find it disgusting that the people in these Comments blow off his infidelity, and say, Yeah, but he was a good actor. It reveals a lot about their low standards and morals. Sick.
Micky rooty more like it..gambler wow party boy extraordinaire larger than life..????I'm surprised he's so innocent talented in judy garland films..Andy or randy hardy .poor ava...poor one that got murdered.
Well money can buy anything… he was short and no handsome to me so I can say the only reason women married him was because of money and fame… so sad he really didn’t need to be marrying or making kids as I am sure was as good a dad as he was a husband
I knew Mickey Rooney was a philanderer but boy mickey all these marriages what did the children think wonder where they all are now. He was a good actor just sad.
Mickey mouse was named after Mickey Rooney. Apparently little Mickey walked in on Walt Disney doing some sketches, walt asked little Mickey what his name was, and that's how Mickey Mouse became Mickey.
Hollywood fast paced and if you get caught up in it well, it just ruins everything. He seemed to be in a pattern of getting married. Made a game of it and he was married 8 times. I hope he asked God to forgive himself before he died. It is sad because I liked him before I found this information. Using people is not a game like gambling and He had a gambling problem. Well, I pray he asked Jesus to forgive him.
Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey was the story, that I was surprised by..The studios didn't protect their young stars..Of course some of the studio owners, practice , making their stars partake in the casting couch. Harry Cohn had that with his stars. Terrible practice, for a chance to be a star.
My grandfather, who just passed away at 80 years old, got my grandmother pregnant when he was 18. She was 14. My other grandmother married her first husband when she was 14 and he was in his 20s. I think teen girls were looked at as women back then. Most teens were married as teens and historically women marry older men.
The entire video was surprising to me. Never really knew that much about Mickey Rooney, but I do now! Let's just say he liked women and lived a very full life. 🤔
@@jayhenderson8483 Clearly so. He was over-loaded with testosterone. That's apparently what they saw in him. As a screen actor, I regarded him as a pest.
@@trackdustyHe got saved not long before he died. A John 3:3 Christian. Amazing after all those years he finally heard the Gospel message. Little Richard also accepted Jesus as his Lord and saviour before he passed.

Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this information. Was there a good time with Mickey?
He was older and sad about his career/ life then, right? And bi polar.
Met him after a show in Muncie Indiana about that time. Seemed ok...standard "meet and greet" kinda thing. He did sign an autograph for the son of a friend...but wasn't happy about it.
Yikes! I’m sorry you had to put up with his inexcusable behavior.

energetic as ever! He did "his own thing" all his life & still lived to 93! R.I.P. Mick!
I can't believe that many women married him, especially when he had a reputation of being such a philanderer.
Wow. Really!
I met him at the Coco’s restaurant in Westlake Village in 1995, where I worked as a waitress!!! I was so excited when he walked in, I said, “you’re Mickey Rooney”!!!, and he smiled so big, and gave me a hug and talked to me a little bit. He was great!!
It's interesting back in the day when studios owned the stars,the lengths they go to protect their public image,who does that for them today.
Honestly if you took his situation and put it in today's world, some of the women that he was with on the side and people who knew about his other issues would've exposed him. It seems like the dirty info comes from uncontrollable third parties now a days. The internet makes exposing people so easy.
Love Mickey Rooney he was always good no matter what he was in movies or TV shows
He had a lot of children! Wonder what kind of dad he was to all those children?
He didn't spend a lot of his time with his children. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
absentee
I was surprised to find out that Mickey was such a playboy
We're happy to know that you learned something new about Mickey! What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse you should do videos on tv shows from the 90,s like renegade and 7 heaven and the pretender
I'll never understand how that short shrimp dork ended up with those women. Ava Gardner? My God.
Yeah, and he destroys his marriage to her in a very short period of time.
He was a fast talker and manipulator. He could talk his way into any woman’s life.
Most men in Hollywood are short. They just make them look taller on screen.

I think he's just as bad 😆 LOL. Have a great day everyone
@@davidurban6813 It's true ☺
Thanks, have a great day to you too
No worries! We do hope that you had a nice sleep 💕
He was a very rude person… I worked for OTB… And he treated me like shit !! Don’t miss him !!☹️
What about Lana Turner? She was pregnant with him.
I love the title "...before he died". How many after he died?
Dang! Dude had more wives than Henry VIII
🤫🤭 So many women, so little time. How the hell did he ever find the time to make movies 🎥, as well.Time management I guess....
He was on medications as well. The studio wanted he and his constants to work all day and night. They fed them speed.
And how did that quality of woman have time for HIM! He must have had a big **ck...
@@freddytw206you are very correct . That is exactly how Judy Garland unfortunately became an addict.
Does anyone have a link to his trainwreak reality show?
Good thing you specified…i was expecting who he hooked up with after he died.
Thanks for the laugh. The old wild days of Hollywood. I'm glad we didn't know all the personal details of their lives. The good old days........
Amen, brother.

I like Mickey Rooney didn’t care what was going on with his life when he was in the movie I enjoyed Mickey
Your channel should cover the people he hooked up with after he was a corpse.
So, hooking up with means married? I thought it meant something else and wondered why the video was so short.
A wonderful talent and so intelligent in his assessment of the falsehood of Holleywood
"… Before he died"? As differentiated from afterwards?
He needed to love himself, instead he looked for love in the wrong way. How sad.
Sad existence, lots of hurts
I had no clue after all of these years that Mickie was a womanizer
Actually one of the warmest well known facts about him so that’s strange you mentioned that
That is putting it mildly.
Well, he was a busy bee 🐝!! Wondering how he had time to make movies?!? 😂
🤯 all yet the wife that was murdered...I knew he's married a lot but...
I don't care about his personal life .I loved him as an amazing actor.I saw all his movies and loved every one of them.Its sad that he couldn't stay married very long,but sometimes that is the way it goes.I loved him as a very accomplished actor.I not judging him for what he did off screen or in what he did in his personal life.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Mickey. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
Ava wasn't a saint
Here in Mexico runs the gossip that she had a fleeting romance with the singer Chabela Vargas
She ruined every man she had a serious relationship with. And she was far from gifted. She was beautiful, so they transformed her from a model, into an actress. Her beauty far out weighed her talent.
Micky was no saint himself. He was a huge asset whose life was threatened many times to those he owed money to.
Manic Mickey Rooney did not need amphetamines, but he allegedly used them.
Oh dear did not everyone in Hollywood????
I guess Mr. Rooney had so many wives because of him having a short attention span…..
Think about it
That reality show Jan (final wife) tried to sell was a train wreck. I can see abuse from both sides by Mickey and Jan in the episodes on TH-cam. I always thought Mickey and Judy were lovers, but I guess not.
I guess she wasn't pretty enough. I was surprised at how gorgeous his early wives were.
@@angelthman1659 i though Judy Garland was very pretty. She had so much going on in her life unthanks to Louis B. Meyer and the studios
~ You missed Lana Turner.
What about AFTER he died?
Well I hope they didn't hook up after he died..
How many did he hook up with after he died ?
Mickey looked like he lost that wonderful thick blond hair too after every woman he supposedly hooked up with man he was only 5'2
I find it disgusting that the people in these Comments blow off his infidelity, and say, Yeah, but he was a good actor.
It reveals a lot about their low standards and morals. Sick.
Little guy hooked up with Ava Gardner, lucky
How on earth do you probably have the opportunity to marry Judy Garland and not jump at the chance?
She was as mentally dysfunctional as he was, and he probably recognized it. Both were serial marriers.
What did they see in this lil shrimp ??
Micky rooty more like it..gambler wow party boy extraordinaire larger than life..????I'm surprised he's so innocent talented in judy garland films..Andy or randy hardy .poor ava...poor one that got murdered.
bruh... a 14 year old girl?
Well money can buy anything… he was short and no handsome to me so I can say the only reason women married him was because of money and fame… so sad he really didn’t need to be marrying or making kids as I am sure was as good a dad as he was a husband
Mickey Rooney was a great actor. R.I.P MICKEY ROONEY
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. May Mickey find peace 🙏
@@FactsVersehe got saved before he died. ✝️
A John 3:3 Christian
Did like this story about some one who I thought was a good actor
Roony was a brill actor watch "A midsummers Night" film. He played Puck
His MIckey Roonied into many women over the years😅😅
So how many children did he have then? Is it 7 or 8, I lost count 😮
I knew Mickey Rooney was a philanderer but boy mickey all these marriages what did the children think wonder where they all are now. He was a good actor just sad.
Micky was not SAD he was an energetic accomplished person who made every bit of his life a success. I admire him.
Mickey mouse was named after Mickey Rooney. Apparently little Mickey walked in on Walt Disney doing some sketches, walt asked little Mickey what his name was, and that's how Mickey Mouse became Mickey.
Good going un knowns
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
You mean He didn't hookup with Judy
~ Nope.
Mickey Rooney thought of Judy Garland as a sister. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Over 300 films but he sucked in all of them. His son was a big posuer. Runs in the family I guess.
Hollywood fast paced and if you get caught up in it well, it just ruins everything. He seemed to be in a pattern of getting married. Made a game of it and he was married 8 times. I hope he asked God to forgive himself before he died. It is sad because I liked him before I found this information. Using people is not a game like gambling and He had a gambling problem. Well, I pray he asked Jesus to forgive him.

He had what mattered TALENT
He led a pathetic life. A full life is one of love and stability with a family.
At least we know now Rooney was a creep ..I never liked short men
Before he died?. You felt that was important to note? Were there women he hooked up with AFTER he died ? Wtf
Amazing I would have never thought micky was a womanizer. He was my favorite in Pete's Dragan.
We're happy to know that you learned something new about Mickey. What is your favorite film of him?
Duuuuude, he’s dead. Don’t do this. He’s not here to defend himself. Let the man Rest In Peace.
Defend himself? He would probably proudly boast about all of this if he were still around.
@@burtreynolds2969 yeah he probably would LoL 😂
He never found the need to rest in peace when he was alive...so what's the issue?
@@trackdusty Micky was great what does it take to be small, not handsome, and to become a major star?? Huge talent and even bigger balls. xxxxxMicky

Glad to know that Mickey was your favorite. Which film of his appealed to you the most?
The 1st movie I remember was "atomic kid" ,then of course #1 is boystown. I loved his energy. My grandfather said he was in the army with Mr. Rooney.
First
Congratulations. We would love to see you be first on our next video too 💗
