Mickey Rooney: Hollywood reacts to legend’s passing
By Tony Maglio
Hollywood reacted with sadness, stories and final praise to the news that comedian and acting legend Mickey Rooney had died on Sunday. He was 93.
Learning of the passing on Sunday night, Hollywood reacted with sadness and at least one joke from “Parks and Recreation” actor Billy Eichner along with a final shot taken from podcaster Julie Klausner, who ironically is a writer on Eichner’s “Billy on the Street.”
Rooney earned four Oscar nominations overall in a career spanning 87 years. He won an Emmy and an honorary Oscar in a long career that included his own television shows and appearances in films such as “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “It’s a Mad, Mad World.”
