The diminutive superstar, who married eight times, was 93.
His 200-plus film credits notwithstanding, the spry, spirited Rooney will be best remembered for playing the impetuous title character in MGM's beloved Andy Hardy movies.
Multiple news outlets reported that Rooney, 93, died on Sunday. He is survived by his eighth wife Jan, and nine children.
But most of all, he leaves behind a colorful Hollywood legacy that spanned 80 years and more than 200 films, including Boys Town and The Black Stallion. Rooney won two honorary Oscars, the first in 1938, the second in 1982. In January 2005, Rooney made headlines for the unlikeliest of reasons when the Fox network rejected a Super Bowl cold remedy commercial -- featuring Rooney's bared bottom -- for being inappropriate.

Watched a few of his films for a college course I took last year about gender and sexuality in film. It was interesting to say the least.

Clicked on this thinking it was the guy from The Wrestler and Iron Man 2. Who the fuck was that? This guy, though, is another celebrity I thought was already dead years ago.

Yes, I only know him from 60 Minutes. His segment was usually a glorified complaint.

I think all RIP threads should have a pic of the corpse in the header post. It would clear up any confusion.
