WHEN MICKEY ROONEY VISITED UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO

Posted on 10:51 by goolhgu


I have known, for a while, that the lovely campus of University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) was the setting for a number of Hollywood movies in the 1940s.  Today, with the news about the passing of film legend Mickey Rooney, I remembered that one of those movies was Rooney’s “Andy Hardy’s Blonde Trouble.”



This link from UNR tells more about this movie and other college capers that were shot on the campus during that era:

What fun it would be to know where else Rooney and co-stars from “Andy Hardy’s Blonde Trouble” spent time in Reno, during the making of that movie.
