MICKEY ROONEY may have had 8 wives but the shocking murder of one changed him FOREVER!
He was endlessly haunted by the violent death of his fifth wife, Barbara Thomason, who was shot to death by a revolver he’d given her for her own protection!
Thomason, 29, was gunned down in 1966 by a jealous lover, 24-year-old bit actor Milos Milocevic, before he turned the pistol on himself.
“Mickey never forgave himself for what had happened to Barbara,” said a source close to the “Andy Hardy” star. “He had made a lot of mistakes during that marriage, and others. But Mickey believed the biggest mistake of all was giving her that gun. He gave it to her for her own protection.”
