A Former Movie Star And Veteran Gave A Passionate Speech About A Topic No One Wants To Discuss
At one time Mickey Rooney was a famous movie star, singing and dancing with Judy Garland. He passed away in 2014, but before he did, he was the victim of something all-too-common among aging people. Here, he speaks about it candidly. I'd like to think he regained some of the dignity that was taken from him with every word he said in this public hearing. No matter how someone lives their life, no one deserves to be taken advantage of when they are at their most vulnerable.
