Mickey Rooney : Him and Ernest Borgnine
Re: Him and Ernest Borgnine
I did not know they had a feud, and I don't know when that comment was m
b68
ad, but I do know it always seemed to me that when you saw Mickey interviewed later on in life, half the time he came across as very angry.
"...I could tell you blood-curdling stories...but me throat's gone dry..."

Re: Him and Ernest Borgnine
They would feud on occasion (I suspect this comment was from the mid-60s as Ernest had a similar one about him around the same time) but were in reality great friends.
Both had worked with each other on television shows and in events based in Hollywood itself -- in "The Legend of O.B. Taggart", a western written by Mickey, the part of the Sheriff was played by Ernest Borgnine.
They last worked together in "Nightclub" (2011) -- at an autograph signing at one of those comicbook conventions someone mentioned to Ernest about this supposed feud with Mickey mentioned on the internet, possibly a reference to these decades old quotes on sites like the IMDB -- he said there was no b68 feud and urged the person who asked to let everyone online know that fact.
I know the day after Ernest's death at a reunion of the cast and crew of "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" staged in Hollywood, Mickey asked the audience for a minute's silence (this is part of the special features in the Criterion bluray version of the movie)

What's up with that other than envy?
