Life Is Too Short

Life Is Too Short by Rooney, Mickey. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780345376435.

He soared form the wrong side of Brooklyn to the top of the world. And hes still hot six decades later. Now, with crackling wisdom and great humor, Mickey takes us back and tells us about: The early days, the wild parties, and squandered fortunes . . . The dark days on the downside of fame . . . The fabled friendships, torrid romances, and legendary marriages . . . The blockbuster films and head-busting moguls . . . Inside stories about Ava Gardner, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor, Charlie Chaplin, Spencer Tracy, and a host of others. Mickey Rooney opens a wide window into an extraordinary life, one of startling adventure, tremendous excess, flagrant hedonism, heart-wrenching love, and an immense and giving talent that looms larger than life itself. "LIFE IS TOO SHORT is a little masterpiece . . . . Fascinating." --Los Angeles Daily News
