RIP Mickey Rooney
 
#3
Tell me about it. I have a copy of the original first edition of Louis Untermeyer's A Treasury of Laughter, published some time in the early 1940s (and still available on Amazon 70 years later); one of the pieces in it is an essay written a decade or so earlier than that, and which starts with words to the effect of "I have just come back from seeing the film version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring a talented young fellow named Mickey Rooney in the role of Puck". That role was in 1935, when he was 15 -- and counting voice work and shorts (and excluding "as himself" roles), he'd already done more than a hundred films before that!
