The passing of actor Mickey Rooney has forever ended the Golden Age of the MGM movie musicals. With a career spanning nearly 90 years, he graced the screen with his infamous portrayal of young Andy Hardy, always in love with the girl next door, Betsy Boothe, who was played by his frequent co-star and lifelong friend, Judy Garland. He went on to make many more films throughout his long and distinguished career. Farewell, Mickey! Now the entire Hardy family is together forever.
