#Gossip Mickey Rooney Dies; Hollywood Legend Was 93: Mickey Rooney, a Hollywood icon who earned an Oscar, two Golden Globes and an Emmy over the course of his impressive career, passed away today after a long battle with an undisclosed illness. He was 93 years old. Rooney became the first teenager ever nominated for an Academy Award in 1940, based on his performance in Strikes Up the Band. He also portrayed Andy Hardy of The Hardy Boys in 20 #movies and appeared opposite Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys. Rooney, who was married eight times, most recently appeared 2011’s The Muppets with Amy Adams and Jason Segal and across from Ben Stiller in 2006s Night at the Museum. Sadly, Rooneys final few years were filled with family discord. He alleged elder abuse at the hands of his stepson Chris Aber and won a $2.8 million judgment against him in 2013 for siphoning money from the actors accounts. We pass along our condolences.
