I broke my leg after doing the first four days of A Midsummer's Night Dream at Big Bear in a toboggan accident where I was almost killed. I was in the front of the toboggan with three big guys in back of me with a lot of inertia of the heavy weight, and my foot slipped off the toboggan, went right in the snow and split me up the middle. If it hadn't broken my femur at the exact time, I would have been killed.... While I was recuperating there (Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital) to get back on the set of A Midsummer's Night Dream they were waiting for me where I did that entire picture in a plaster of Paris cast covered up by Olivia De Havilland's dress ... while I'm at the Presbyterian Hospital and I'm recuperating, my wife (Jan) is born on the 6th floor. Now that's a billion-to-one shot. Mickey Rooney		Saturday Dec 21, 2024

Remember only this of our hopeless love That never till Time is done Will the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind be one.

I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.
