Hank Williams, Sr saw it, called a stage hand over and said, “Go tell that son of a bitch if he doesn’t sit down I’m coming down there and busting this big guitar over his head!” Berle looked up and saw Williams glaring down at him.

I liked Mickey Rooney. I asked him in Las Vegas to what he contributed his long success. He pulled out a big wooden cross that he used to wear under his shirt. "Everything is because of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ," he said. Later he was betting big time at the Blackjack table. I asked him if his Lord was helping. He responded that when he was a teenager he lost two million dollars playing craps. "I'm just trying to get it back." His stories about Ava Gardner and women were not unkind, but he said that he was ahead financially on alimony. "If I had to pay a hooker the number of times I had sex with Ava, I'd be bankrupt."

In the summer of 1971, Rooney was in a play at the Shady Grove playhouse and I was waitressing at a nearby Ramada Inn. He acted entitled and not to go into details but he was like a king to his fans who gathered around his table and treated the staff waiting on him as very lowly servants. And left an insultingly low tip.

Mickey Rooney had a chance to back up and substantiate all the abuse allegations that Judy Garland made about being starved and given drugs and he didn’t. Garland suffered the rest of her short life and he could have helped her.

He did TRY to help her but she could not be helped. I know that's hard to understand, but she was un-helpable. Frank Sinatra paid for her funeral to help her because that was the only way to help her --- she had to be dead.

Lucille Ball's son Desi Jr, at 14, got another 14 year-old pregnant. Baby was born when they both turned 15. Desi and Lucy never met their granddaughter and it was hushed up. Disgusting!

Mickey Rooney blew into town with the "Sugar Babies" touring company in the '80s and sweet talked a bunch of rube local business owners into granting him "lines of credit." Rooney skipped town owing more than $10,000! The shopkeepers banded together and successfully sued him.

I'm not sure if the narration was computer generated or if it was a real person. There were numerous pronunciation errors, most notably names of celebrities. Maybe a little better narration editing would make this more credible - otherwise a good video.

If I remember correctly Bing Crosby's son later admitted that he had stretched the truth about his father in order to sell more books. This was after his sister from Bing's second marriage threatened to sue him for tarnishing her father's image. I remember Bing's youngest son once commenting that his father was not very demonstrative in his affection, but he never saw anything abusive from him.

In the '80s Mickey Rooney stopped by my public access cable TV station for an interview. He used the entire interview to plug some vitamins he was selling.

Was aware of Lucille Ball. I had family (a great uncle and a father) who were devoted Communists (trust me it made me grow up being an avid fan of free market principals, no matter how much they tried to sell me on it, I actually ended up not being close to either after I turned 18). The great uncle knew Lucille from his activities with the Communist party in America, she was involved here and there. Said she was cruel, impatient, contemptuous toward pretty much anyone around her if the cameras were off, but everyone tolerated her because the Communist party in the USA had an uphill climb, so any celebrity who supported it had to be treated like royalty.

Can we add Frank Sinata to the list. That hack of an entertainer can be relied upon to make the worse version of any song he covers. He sings the worst version of "killing me softly" for example.

Marlon Brando? In his later career he treated everyone on film sets horribly. Despite demanding (and getting) huge salaries for roles he refused to learn his lines and would delay filming by showing up late or not showing up at all. To this day other actors still kiss his a@#.

Top billing stars typically get to the top because of their determination and ruthlessness.
