Is it just me, or was this interviewer rude? If I were Mickey Rooney, I’d snap at her too (she is especially harsh when she describes his appearance—she seems to think there’s something wrong with getting old!)— The Guardian
Weird—the same Rooney interview seems smoother in the video (and the interviewer comes off better). I think he looks pretty good! Love that voice. It’s nice that he finally found a lasting love.— The Guardian

Wow. Thanks for the link to that Mickey Rooney interview! He is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't STAND that interviewer - where did they get her from?
Wasn't she mean? I couldn't stand the way she was trying to make him look pathetic in the piece she wrote. I was like--don't you know who this man is? She could have had some fun with the lying business too. Actors are paid to lie--that's why they do it so well in real life! I thought he looked and sounded pretty darn great for 89 years old.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteI'm horrified by that interview with Mickey Rooney. He's a legend and shouldn't be treated that way.
My pleasure Raquelle. It was a very well-written review. Now I'm excited to read the book!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that interviewer a stinkpot? I mean, even it you don't understand the contributions Rooney made, at least have some respect for the elderly! Sheesh.
