Mickey Rooney was undoubtedly one of the most successful actors of all time. He appeared in over 300 films, was the top box office draw from 1939 to 1941, and was one of the top-paid actors of his era. During the peak of his career between the age of 15 and 25, Rooney starred in 43 films.
Mickey Rooney not only had one of the most prolific acting careers in Hollywood throughout the nine decades that he was active, but he also had one wild life. He had dozens of affairs with some of the most famous women of his day, had one heck of a drinking problem, and ended up owing a lot of people money due to his rampant gambling addiction.
He was married eight times - with six of these marriages ending in divorce. But that shouldn't come as that big of a surprise considering his reputation of being an unapologetic womanizer. He lived fast, partied hard, and didn't seem to care about the consequences.
Ironically, most people's first thought when thinking about Mickey Rooney typically has something to do with his squeaky clean image as Andy Hardy - a character that he portrayed in 16 films between 1937 and 1946. But in reality, Rooney was nothing like Hardy. Ava Gardner, Rooney's first wife once said that he would go through women like a hot knife through fudge.
Join Facts Verse as we take a look at almost every woman - that we know of at least - that Mickey Rooney hooked up with before his death at the age of 93 in 2014.

I had the misfortune of being his "Talent Supervisor" at a number of events in the early 2000's. He was an angry little man with major personality issues.

[@FactsVerse]

Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this information. Was there a good time with Mickey?

[@lindaf4836]

He was older and sad about his career/ life then, right? And bi polar.

[@lelandfranklin3487]

Met him after a show in Muncie Indiana about that time. Seemed ok...standard "meet and greet" kinda thing. He did sign an autograph for the son of a friend...but wasn't happy about it.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Yikes! I’m sorry you had to put up with his inexcusable behavior.

[@LauraC-hq7sm]

Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland made such great movies together. It’s like a Time Machine back to the 1930s-40s it’s so sad how they were both forced to take performance drugs and Judy was put on strict diets.

Mickey Rooney & his wife Jan were neighbors of my wife's cousin in Westlake Village, Calif. for years, until just before his death in 2014 & I've been by his home there! I met & spoke to him in 1981, when he opened his fast-food restaurant "Mickey Rooney's Wienie World",in Massapequa, NY! At 61, he was as energetic as ever! He did "his own thing" all his life & still lived to 93! R.I.P. Mick!

[@carolequery7950]

I can't believe that many women married him, especially when he had a reputation of being such a philanderer.

[@anthonyangeli256]

Wow. Really!

[@Angela-ho4qx]

I met him at the Coco’s restaurant in Westlake Village in 1995, where I worked as a waitress!!! I was so excited when he walked in, I said, “you’re Mickey Rooney”!!!, and he smiled so big, and gave me a hug and talked to me a little bit. He was great!!

[@JohnLee-pt5jz]

It's interesting back in the day when studios owned the stars,the lengths they go to protect their public image,who does that for them today.

[@brwnserenity2351]

Honestly if you took his situation and put it in today's world, some of the women that he was with on the side and people who knew about his other issues would've exposed him. It seems like the dirty info comes from uncontrollable third parties now a days. The internet makes exposing people so easy.

[@sweetestaphrodite]

⁠@@jayhenderson8483If you were paying attention to the video you would’ve heard that he had a heavy gambling problem, where even a gift he had given to his wife as an apology for his infidelity had to be returned to pay off his debts. Most of these women were also successful in their own right. Quite trying to vilify them for the sake of justifying his hurtful behaviour, weirdo.

Hollywood fast paced and if you get caught up in it well, it just ruins everything. He seemed to be in a pattern of getting married. Made a game of it and he was married 8 times. I hope he asked God to forgive himself before he died. It is sad because I liked him before I found this information. Using people is not a game like gambling and He had a gambling problem. Well, I pray he asked Jesus to forgive him.
