At Mickey Rooney's age, he can do anything and say anything he wants, what are people going to do about it? Mickey is 90 years young. My experiences with meeting Mr. Rooney have been cold and lukewarm. At times he is incredibly standoffish and semi-rude, at other times, he will engage in a conversation and take a photo with his fans.

If I was in a mean mood today, I could say that it was his time of the month. I'm not in a mean mood and I won't say that.

Mickey has had many ups & downs in his life (who hasn't, especially in today's economy) and most of his problems were probably self-inflicted. One of his biggest problems was his incredible number of marriages, and don't forget about the divorces that go along with the marriages. His latest marriage to Jan Rooney seems to have calmed his demons. They have been married for 32 years, longer than his previous 7 marriages combined.

Seven divorces cost a lot of money.

Mickey Rooney has acted in the movies for a longer period than any other actor. He has been in movie making business for 84 years. This year alone, he has two films in post-production and another filming. Granted the roles are small and are not time intensive, I mean, he is 90 years young.

Another method for Mickey to rake in the big bucks, was for him to make TV commercials. He was a spokesman for Rainier beer, in which he played a Canadian Mountie.

TV TOY MEMORIES has an autographed copy of a Rainier beer poster for sale. the poster has Mickey dressed in his red Mountie uniform. Below is a photo of the humorous poster.
