Additional Information
Joe Yule Jr., also known as Mickey Rooney, was born September 23, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York. His big break came in 1927 when he was cast for 'Mickey 'Himself' McGuire,' a series based on a comic strip. His mother wanted to legally change his name to Mickey McGuire for publicity reasons, but the comic's creator did not approve this. Instead she renamed him Mickey Rooney after getting approval from his manager. Mickey's work on the film led him to being signed to a long-term contract with MGM. Short in stature, but never short in confidence, Mickey was the number one box office actor in the United States from 1939-41. He became known for his work on films such as: 'A Midsummer Nights Dream,' 'Boys Town,' 'Babes In Arms' and the hit 'Andy Hardy' series. He also starred with many Hollywood leading ladies including Lana Turner, Anne Rutherford and Judy Garland. All in all, Mickey is a man with over 200 films under his belt. He earned an Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement, a special Juvenile Oscar he shared with Deana Durbin in 1939, five Oscar nominations, one Emmy Award, five Emmy Nominations and two Golden Globes. Mickey's career has extended through many generations and in many different directions. Mickey Rooney: actor, survivor, inventor and Hollywood living legend.
