Indeed.. Steven. He had been ill awhile and not done much since a show on Broadway a few years ago. But he survived eight marriages....

I gotta dig up my thread "People who recently died that you thought have been dead for at least 15 years". Didn't Jack Palance die 3 times also?

The last time I saw Mickey Rooney it ended up being Dana Carvey.

RIP

This is hard to believe but he had only $18,000 when he died.

4. Yes, $18,000 is all Rooney had. Despite his long career — Rooney was still working at the time of his death — he had little money. He previously said that he lost most of his fortune because of elder abuse and money mismanagement by Jan's other son, Christopher Aber. Additionally, his steady stream of divorces famously drained his funds.
