In the busy streets of Brooklyn, a famous person was born – Mickey Rooney, the powerhouse of American entertainment. Since he was very young, he was drawn to the spotlight, which sparked a love for performing that would shine on screens and stages all over the country.
Imagine this: a tiny entertainer, just a little older than a baby, capturing audiences with his lively energy and natural charm. Mickey started his journey in the exciting world of vaudeville, where he learned and practiced his skills with his parents, impressing crowds with singing, dancing, and humor.
But it was the silver screen that truly embraced Mickey’s boundless talent. With a twinkle in his eye and mischief in his smile, he brought to life characters that leaped off the celluloid and into the hearts of millions. Who could forget his mischievous turn as the puckish Puck in a whimsical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”? Or his endearing portrayal of the irrepressible Andy Hardy, a role that made him the darling of Hollywood?
At MGM Studios, Mickey became very famous. He worked with big stars like Judy Garland, dancing and singing his way into movie history, making a lasting impression during Hollywood’s best times.
When we are 20 years old, our concern revolves around the opinions of others about us.
When we reach the age of 20, our preoccupation lies in the thoughts others have about us. By the time we turn 40, we no longer concern ourselves with their opinions. And as we reach 60, we come to realize that they haven’t been contemplating us at all.
The statement about age’s significance was not originally attributed to Ann Landers.
In March, we disproved a Facebook post that falsely attributed the quote to Winston, which stated: “At 20, you’re concerned about others’ opinions; at 40, you stop caring about what others think; at 60, you realize no one ever thought about you at all.”
If we advance seven months, we encounter an almost identical post, except this time the statement is credited to the deceased advice columnist Ann Landers.
The post titled “Aging Gracefully” starts with the statement, “In our twenties, we are concerned about the opinions of others. By the time we reach our forties, we no longer bother about what they think. And when we turn sixty, we realize that they haven’t been giving us any thought at all.”
