Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney was listed in good condition Thursday following open heart surgery the day before to clear two artery blockages, Reuters reports.
An angiogram test Wednesday at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif., confirmed the blockages, and physicians performed a double coronary bypass operation on the 80-year-old actor, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Rooney is the star of films such as “Boys Town,” “The Black Stallion,” “Babes in Arms,” “National Velvet” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”

Z.com is seeking interest in addition to repayment of the original $1.075 million it says it paid Rock on April 10.
