SCREEN legend Mickey Rooney is deteriorating rapidly, and his confused behavior at a recent event has sparked fears that the aging star may be suffering from dementia.
The 92-year-old actor was booked for “An Evening With Mickey Rooney” at Lyons English Grille in Palm Springs, Calif., on Nov. 12 – a dinner event during which he was supposed to mingle with fans and speak about his storied Hollywood career.
But instead of the meet-and-greet they’d paid for, fans instead saw a disoriented and frail shell of a man who didn’t even remember why he was at the event!
“Mickey was in no condition to be out greeting fans,” a source at the restaurant told The ENQUIRER. “He didn’t have a clue where he was. He was confused, and sadly, he couldn’t even speak coherently. There was no way he could tell stories about his extraordinary life in Hollywood.
