Mrs. Smith, who was in a relationship with Hollywood star Mickey Rooney, was clearly "in the know" when it came to Mickey and the actresses he worked with. She says she got involved with him 1940ish.
She says that the studio got both Judy Garland (the star of Wizard of Oz) and Mickey Rooney hooked on drugs, sleeping pills (downers) and amphetamines (uppers) and that is how the studio controlled and managed their child stars. Mickey and Ava Gardner, in their first marriages to each other, went out to clubs and drank heavily. According to the authors Ava new he was screwing around but when she got word that he had gone off with a fifteen year old girl, she knew she was on the way out of that marriage. It seems to me that Mickey Rooney may have been addicted to booze and sex and gambling. He was debt with the bookies and as a result there was always debt as well as his ability to earn more because, at least for some time, he was a top earning star. The studio knew all this about him but they didn't stop casting him. He was addicted to Ava, even after their divorce he wanted her back.
Missy asks you! Are you an addict? What of?
When in your life did your addiction begin?
