I was sad to hear of Mickey Rooneys passing yesterday. I worked with Mickey many years ago on The Black Stallion TV series. We shot together for three years. He was very generous to me, and I learned a lot from Mickey. He lived a long life – a huge life. He was famous for his entire life. He worked with everybody, in every generation. In losing Mickey we lose not just a piece of history, we lose an era. He was an icon. When I first met Mickey, it was at a dinner at Bridges in Granville Island, just before we started shooting. He was larger than life. Within ten minutes, I was listening to stories of Judy Garland and Ava Gardner and I couldn’t believe I was in the middle of all of this. I was suddenly a part of all this history, even if only as a footnote. My heart goes out to his wife Jan and his family and all those who were close to him. It was an honour to have worked with a legend. Thanks Mick.
