Book Presentation:
Mickey Rooney was one of Hollywood’s most prolific and long-lived stars, with film credits spanning the silent and CGI eras. Despite his Broadway acclaim and gift for character acting, he is remembered mainly for his comedies and tumultuous personal life. Most biographies have focused on these, neglecting his long and varied career, which was marked by sharp declines and meteoric comebacks. Drawing on interviews with coworkers, this book reveals Rooney as a skilled actor who settled for less in an industry that relegated him to lesser roles, and built a body of work admired by audiences and actors alike.

About the Author:
The late James A. MacEachern wrote plays, documentary films, and essays and received several awards and grants for his writing. He was a member of the WGA and IDA and lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Press Reviews:
"inherently fascinating and impressively informative…a ‘must read’"—The Midwest Review.
