Miss Olivia Remembers Mickey Rooney
Now that Mickey Rooney has died, the only big name left from Hollywood’s peak moment — late 1930s, early 1940s — is Olivia de Havilland. (Two-time Oscar winner Luise Rainer was never a Hollywood creature.) Miss Livvie, who long ago moved to Paris, that place where so many legends draw the blinds and spend their final days (Maria Callas, Marlene Dietrich), has published a tribute to Rooney: ‘Mickey, Mickey, Mickey. They say that you have died, but I find this hard to believe for you are so alive in my memory.’ Can you identify the two other men in the photo?
They are Dick Powell and Joe E. Brown.
