True or False: Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, and Shirley Temple were turned down for the "Li'l Rascals" ...?

The ever popular

" Hal Roach's Our Gang/ Li'l Rascals "

shorts had endured for three decades

and had employed over 200 child actors

that would be replaced when they

became too old to play their

respective parts ....

numerous many talent contests were

held and scouts looking for

replacements - even the studio of MGM

being bombarded by stage mothers

claiming their child to be the next big star

... and such was the case for

Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, and Shirley Temple

Although they were all tested for the parts,

they were all TURNED AWAY because they

were " not typical children " and did not fit the bill
