"Andy Hardy" Spotted at Capitol



An unusual celebrity sighting at the Rendell inaugural: Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney, bundled up against the cold, was among the 1,500 spectators today.

Why was Rooney in Harrisburg? Turns out he's a longtime pal of Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll. But that's not his only connection to PA. The famed child star of stage and screen ran Mickey Rooney's Tabas Resort in Downington for many years.

Is it possible that Knoll told Rooney that "Edward G. Robinson" was being inaugurated, and Rooney travelled to PA looking to renew an old acquaintance?
