And a great performance it is. I did! I saw Judy Garland in the video title and was looking for her amongst the women in the first scene, but of course she wasn’t there. I’ve only actually seen her as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, so it’s weird and interesting to see her in such a different role! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 A little history for those of you that weren't yet born during the Micey Rooney & Judy Garland era. Mickey Rooney - Wikipedia At the peak of his career between ages 15 and 25, he made 43 films, and was one of MGM's most consistently successful actors. A versatile performer, he became a celebrated character actor later in his career. Laurence Olivier once said he considered Rooney "the best there has ever been".[3] Clarence Brown, who directed him in two of his earliest dramatic roles in National Velvet and The Human Comedy, said Rooney was "the closest thing to a genius" with whom he had ever worked.[4] He won a Golden Globe Award in 1982 and an Emmy Award in the same year for the title role in a television movie Bill and was awarded Academy Honorary Award in 1982. Mickey Rooney appeared in over 300 films.
