Mickey Rooney's spouses all helped him to find love, no matter how long the marriage lasted. Born September 23, 1920, Mickey Rooney would begin performing vaudeville with his parents at just seventeen months old and his film debut would come at the young age of six!

Mickey Rooney's first marriage would come after the rising star fell in love with teenage actress Ava Gardner. Mickey, who was just twenty-two at the time, quickly found himself failing in the role of a husband, preferring to spend his time drinking, gambling, and pursuing other women. The marriage would end after only a year, with Gardner leaving Rooney.

While the marriage wasn't without its ups and downs, Mickey Rooney's eighth and final marriage would stand the test of time lasting longer than any of his previous seven marriages combined.
