RIP...Mickey Rooney. The pint-sized actor who, along with his co-star Judy Garland, was one of MGM's biggest box office attractions in the '30's and 40's has died at the age of 93. In addition to his acting, Rooney was known for his marriages - there were 8 in all, including one to Ava Gardner.
- One film historian said, "Mickey leaves some pretty small shoes to fill".
- He will be buried after a short service. (Bada Boom!)

Have a great day and I'll see you back here Tuesday.
