“Forgotten Hollywood”- TV and Radio Remembers Rooney…
Manny P. here…
Many tributes and on-air memorials are pouring in remembering the fine work of Mickey Rooney. His long career involved motion pictures, television, radio, and the live stage. Last night, getTV shared a movie retrospective, teleplaying some of his nice performances in All Ashore, Drive a Crooked Road, and Requiem for a Heavyweight.
On Sunday, Turner Classic Movies will spotlight Rooney for a solid 24-hours with a dozen or so of his movies, mostly from Hollywood’s Golden Age. TCM frequently provides these wonderful cinematic honors; most recently, featuring Shirley Temple, Joan Fontaine, and Peter O’Toole. The really good news is TCM has a vast library of the actor’s films. (Mickey Rooney below with Spencer Tracy and Judy Garland)
I’ll offer my contribution this Saturday at 3p (PST) on my Forgotten Hollywood Radio Program on the Financial News and Talk Network. It’s a show I aired about a year ago that focused on the tunes made famous by Rooney, and in some instances, with his constant on-screen companion, Judy Garland.

The life and times of Mickey Rooney will be well-remembered.
Until next time> “never forget”
