Many thanks Chic for your wonderful eupogy on Mickey Rooney. Certainly an all time great in many categories.

In Miami many years ago my Dad and I went to a big theater and after the movie did Vaudeville. Star was Joe Yule Sr. Mickeys dad and they looked the same. He did a great "song and dance" act. It was naver announced who his son was, but I think most of the audience knew.

Looks a little like Tom Thumb (hair, baby fat in checks, stance)!

While Rooney disinherited his children, his wife and all but one of her children in a will he signed just weeks before his death, court papers suggest there is not much in his estate to fight over. His personal property is valued at just $18,000 despite an unmatched 90-year film career.
