Mickey Rooney (born Joseph Yule Jr.; other pseudonym Mickey Maguire; September 23, 1920 – April 6, 2014) was an American actor. In a career spanning nearly nine decades, he appeared in more than 300 films and was among the last surviving stars of the silent-film era.
- Babes in Arms (1939) Another “kids put on a show” film, “Babes” was MGM’s highest grossing film of 1939, a year known for more classic movies than any other, and scored Mickey Rooney an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor (19 at the time, he remains the second youngest actor to receive a nomination in this category).
- Boys Town (1938) “There is no such thing as a bad boy.” Loosely based on a true story, Spencer Tracy plays Father Edward Flanagan, a Catholic priest moved to build a sanctuary for wayward boys called “Boys Town,” and Rooney is one of the more rebellious boys, Whitey Marsh, a tough-talking, cigarette-smoking hoodlum whom Flanagan is determined to reform.
- A Family Affair (1937) This film was intended to be a one-off “B” picture, with the still-relatively-unknown Rooney in a secondary role. However, the story of moral-upright Judge Hardy (Lionel Barrymore, later played by Lewis Stone) fighting corruption during his reelection campaign, while also dealing with the antics of his two grown daughters and teenaged son Andy, became a huge hit, largely due to Rooney.
- National Velvet (1944) Although it’s largely remembered for being the vehicle to launch a young Elizabeth Taylor to fame, it was Rooney who was the major star of the picture and remains one of his most enduring roles.
