Mickey Rooney Was Right: How I Spent My Lifetime Following a Dream When Logic and Those Around Me Said to Stop

   Mickey Rooney Was Right is D.W. Paone's autobiography with the emphasis on his quest to achieve success as both a writer and assistant cameraman in the entertainment industry.  However, no matter how hard he tried, and he tried very hard, long-term success in both these aspects of the industry continued to elude him.

   While he had the opportunity to work on Law & Order and a handful of other high-profile jobs, and even sold a joke to Jay Leno, his career was a roller coaster ride of highs and lows in a fickle industry with no rhyme or reason. This book is for anyone who has attempted, or even considered a career in the entertainment industry, or followed a dream even when logic and those around him said to stop.
