cavanami Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Mickey Rooney, Legendary Actor, Dies at 93 https://movies.yahoo.com/news/mickey-rooney-legendary-actor-dies-93-030147434.html Mickey Rooney, the pint-sized actor who was one of MGM’s giant box office attractions in the late ’30s and early ’40s, has died, sources confirm. He was 93. As adept at comedy as drama and an excellent singer and dancer, Rooney was regarded as the consummate entertainer. During a prolific career on stage and screen that spanned eight decades (“I’ve been working all my life, but it seems longer,†he once said), he was nominated for four Academy Awards and received two special Oscars, the Juvenile Award in 1939 (shared with Deanna Durbin) and one in 1983 for his body of work... He was married eight times and filed for bankruptcy in 1962, having gone through the $12 million he had earned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Mickey Rooney? I didn't even realise he was still alive! My mother had a friend who grew up in Hollywood with him. He had been a child star, and her friend said it really hurt him when everybody started to grow up ... and he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waerth Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 March 31st 2014 RIP Frankie Knuckles, the godfather of house (https://en.wikipedia...rankie_Knuckles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOLE1YE_oFQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIdimVDuSEU "House was Disco's revenge" http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/turnitup/ct-frankie-knuckles-appreciation-20140402,0,5136893.column Frankie Knuckles, who died Monday at age 59 in Chicago, was not just the "godfather" of Chicago house music. He was a pioneer in the way he cultivated a culture, a sound and a community around dance music that decades later encompasses the world. Now DJs such as Skrillex, Tiesto, Deadmau5 and Afrojack can fill stadiums internationally as part of the EDM (or electronic dance music) movement. Whether they know it or not, they all owe a debt to Knuckles, the DJ who essentially launched their scene in the late '70s from the Warehouse, a narrow club on Jefferson Street that was a sanctuary for Chicago's gay community. It could be plausibly argued that Knuckles was as important to the birth of contemporary dance music as James Brown was to soul or Chuck Berry to rock 'n' roll. And like those innovators, Knuckles helped nurture a deceptively sophisticated sound that celebrated and embraced outsiders and misfits — in Knuckles' case, the gay African-American and Hispanic communities.
