L.A. Film Festival: A Conversation with Mickey Rooney
- This is a past program
Born in 1920, Mickey Rooney is a veteran of stage, film, and television. In 1939 he was nominated as best actor for his role in Babes in Arms, his first major musical with Judy Garland.
After serving in World War II, he added to his list of credits roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Black Stallion, and more than three hundred other films. Most recently he appeared in Night at the Museum. He has also received Emmys for his television work, and a Tony nomination for Sugar Babies on Broadway. He received the Academy Honorary Award, the motion picture industry’s highest acknowledgement of film legends, in 1983.
