Farewell Andy Hardy

Despite his diminutive stature at only five feet three, Mickey made a fabulous film and television career reality. His first stage appearance as a toddler we would see. The world best knew him in the role of “Andy Hardy”. There were many ups and downs through the years of his life. Unbelievably, Mickey overcame a lot of bad luck and strife. In Hollywood, he stood out among many of the best. At the ripe age of ninety-three, Mr. Rooney is laid to rest. Mickey Rooney (1920-2014) From a news story found on aol.com
