Tributes to Mickey Rooney have been pouring in since news broke that the legendary actor passed away at 93. Celebs of all ages from William Shatner to Lena Dunham and Ariana Grande paid their respects on twitter. Rooney is considered one of the first child stars and was bestowed with two Oscars during his 80-year career. And his personal life rivaled that of his “National Velvet” co-star Elizabeth Taylor – having married a total of eight times. Mickey was never one to shy away from the spotlight – in fact his last pubic appearance was at this year’s Vanity Fair Oscar party just one month ago.
