Continuing our theme "Hollywood Goes Fishing" we get this nifty press wire photo of the legendary actor Mickey Rooney and the actress Martha Vickers. This Thanksgiving holiday I was able to go and see the new Muppet Movie (it was outstanding, by the way) and I was shocked to see a cameo from the ninety-one year old Mickey Rooney. Born in 1920, Rooney was already a film star by age eight and by his teenage years was one of the most famous people in the world. Martha Vickars was an actress who had some major roles in the post-war era. Mostly, however, she was famous for being married to Mickey Rooney from 1949-1951. Presumably this was the period this photo was taken, with its Pflueger reel (complete with Comfo grip).
