Joe Yule Jr., also known as Mickey Rooney, was born September 23, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York. His
parents, chorus girl Nell Carter and comic Joe Yule Sr., were vaudeville performers. Two weeks after
Mickey's birth, he was on the road with the circuit traveling throughout North America.
At 17 months old, his talent surfaced by accident. While hiding underneath a shoeshine stand in a Chicago
theatre, fascinated by his father's act, he let out a sneeze. The noise caused a spotlight to find him in the crowd.
Not knowing what to do he stood up and blew on his tiny toy mouth organ that was hanging on a string around
his neck. The audience erupted with laughter. The show's manager got him a pint-sized tuxedo after the
incident, and young Mickey began performing small ballads and speeches on stage.
Mickey's parents divorced when he was three. Mickey's mother took him to Kansas City, Missouri so they
could live with her sister. The normal way of life they had there was short lived, for in 1924, Mickey's mother
decided he would be perfect for Hal Roach's "Our Gang" series. They headed west to Hollywood so Mickey
could try out for the role. Once there, however, they realized the pay was insufficient. Penniless, they drove
back to Kansas City. They returned to California again in 1926. This time Mickey landed his first film role in
the movie "Not To Be Trusted," in which he played a midget.
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. In 1934, Mickey was competing in a table tennis tournament in Los Angles and was showing off to
the audience. MGM producer David O. Selznick noticed his antics. He told MGM studio chief Louis Mayer
that he had found a kid that was a "goldmine" and begged him to sign Mickey to MGM. Mayer was reluctant
to do so. Selznick made a role for Mickey in the film "Manhattan Melodrama," which was later made famous
when notorious gangster John Dillinger was shot and killed while leaving the theater where he had been
watching it. Mickey's work on the film led him to being signed to a long-term contract with MGM. Although
he had the reputation of being a troublemaker, he put his all into acting and began to receive rave reviews.
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.
During the 1950s, he worked on a television series called "Hey Mulligan." It was short-lived and could not
compete with the likes of "The Jackie Gleason Show " which was scheduled in the same time slot.
Mickey never was one to settle down, which explains his eight marriages. In 1942, he married Hollywood star
Ava Gardner, but they soon divorced. After entering the service for 21 months in 1944 to entertain the troops
in WWII, he married Betty Jane Rase. This marriage was followed by similar experiences with Martha
Vickers in 1949 and Elaine Mahnken in 1952. In 1958 Rooney married Barbara Ann Thompson, but tragedy
struck when she was murdered in 1966. Stumbling into deep depression, he married Barbara's friend, Marge
Lane, who helped him take care of his young children. The marriage lasted only 100 days. He married Carolyn
Hockett from 1969-1974, but financial instability ended the relationship. Finally, in 1978 Rooney married Jan
Chamberlin, his current wife, with whom he lives in Los Angeles, California.
In the early 1970s, Mickey undertook several short-lived financial ventures and acted in various dinner
theatres. He reluctantly went back to the stage in the burlesque production of "Sugar Babies" in 1979. The
production ended up being a phenomenal success, and his career was reborn.
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.
Excerpts from:
Witchel, Alex. “At Lunch with Mickey Rooney: At 73, Still the Star, Still the Child”. The New York
Times. Late Edition. Section C; Page 1; Column 2; Living Desk. July 7, 1993.
"Do you know, you're sitting with the only man alive who worked with Will Rogers," he says proudly,
referring to the 1935 film "The County Chairman." "He told me: 'You handle yourself very well, son. You
know your lines. You don't interfere with mine. You know how to have fun with the script. Your performance
makes mine better.' "
"People don't realize the great stars I brought to the fore," he says. "Sammy Davis Jr., for one. I found the Will
Maston Trio in a colored theater in Baltimore. And I brought Red Skelton to MGM. I directed his test. I told
Louis B. Mayer I'd found the funniest man ever seen. And the rest is history.
"I also found and brought to the fore Marilyn Monroe. It was at Ray Anthony's party; he was a trumpet player,
a band leader. Everybody wanted to jump on her bones so I took her under my wing.
"I said, 'Norma, we're going to have to change your name.' And God love her soul and her body, she didn't
have a chance. She was a very strange lady. But I said, 'You're definitely a Marilyn.' And we were talking and
my phone rang and it was my writer friend Monroe Manning. And I said I'd call him back. And then I froze.
And she said, 'Who was that?' And I said, 'I was just talking to your last name.' "
It may be difficult for people under 30 to understand just how big a star Mr. Rooney was in his childhood. He
made his debut in vaudeville at 18 months with his parents, Joe Yule, a comic, and Nell Carter, a dancer. He
acted in his first feature film at 7 when he was cast as Mickey McGuire, a character based on a cartoon strip.
He made 78 of these short films until he outgrew the role at the age of 12. (Walt Disney named Mickey Mouse
for Mr. Rooney, he says in his book.)
Then he signed with MGM, where he made the Andy Hardy series. From 1938 to 1940, his box office receipts
made him the most popular star in the world. In 1939 he received a special Academy Award for "Boys Town"
with Spencer Tracy and for his work in the Andy Hardy series. And that's the year he and Judy Garland made
the musical "Babes in Arms," forging one of the most popular on-screen partnerships in Hollywood history. In
1983, he received an honorary Oscar in recognition of his career.
To have the love of millions at such a young age and lose it is cruel. And after being loved by so many, just
one doesn't do as well. Which may be why Mr. Rooney has been married eight times. (His first wife was Ava
Gardner.) He and his current wife, Jan, live outside of Los Angeles, and will celebrate their 19th anniversary
this year. He has 12 children, 4 grandchildren and 7 dogs.
Religion helps. In his book, which was published in 1991, he writes about an experience he had at a coffee
shop at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, Calif. He describes a busboy with blond curls who whispered in his ear, "Mr.
Rooney, Jesus Christ loves you very much." After checking with the manager and finding no busboy who fit
this description, Mr. Rooney decided he was visited by an angel.
Today all he says is: "I believe God gave me my career. I was sent here to do my Father's work."
Does he keep in touch with his friend Judy's daughter Liza Minnelli? "We're not what you'd call buddybuddy," he says. "She's off doing her thing, being Liza. But I miss Judy every day. She was part of me. I loved
her. I think Judy Garland was without any equivocation one of the greatest actresses, entities, who ever lived
and will be for the next two centuries. And that's quite a statement."
"I've had my day at bat. I have no delusions of grandeur. I'm happy with everything that's been given to me. So
you could just say I'm a man of opposites. I'm satisfactorily dissatisfied. A loud quiet man. A very happy sad
man."
