Michael - Hate to burst your bubble but those were planned ad-libs. I saw the show several times and those same "ad-libs" appeared every time.
The genius of that is he made them look fresh every night and Ann Miller played it like it was. Seriously, it takes a great talent to do it every night and make it look fresh!

(he and she made the show.) what made the show great was his ad-libs. Ann Miller would frequently turn her back away from the audience because she was laughing. mbb -----Original Message----- From: Todd Feiertag <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, Sep 23, 2009 9:59 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] Slightly OT--- Who says child stars aren't survivors???!!! Hey Joe, Good for Mickey!! I believe that Mickey Rooney is one of the most talented stars, if not, THE MOST TALENTED STAR to come out of Hollywood. I believe Mickey was the most popular star in the World from about 1939 to 1941. He did it all, from silent film, all the way up to today and is still working! He's suppose to be at the CHILLER THEATRE CONVENTION in New Jersey next month. Thanks for posting that Joe!
