Says a lot about Mickey's character when his two oldest children have nothing but compliments and good opinions of their father. Loved Mickey Rooney and appreciate his sons taking the time to talk about him.

His father was said to be most talent actor in hollywood by many famous actors. They said he could do it all; act in comedy ;drama; dance; sing etc.

When Skip said at the 15:15 mark that their dad has every right to be mad at Hollywood because, Hollywood is not Hollywood like it used to be! How these words ring true! I personally do not care for the Hollywood of today! I do not go to see the horrible movies that have been coming out of late, which include both bad story lines and a lot of bad acting! At $16.95 a pop! By the time you have bought your movie food, and sit down inside the theater, you may have already spent close to $30.00. Plus the kicker is if the film fails to bring in a certain amount of profit, within a specified time, Netflix or Amazon acquire the rights to show it.
