Who's up The late, great Mickey Rooney earned the distinction of longest-working actor: 88 years, from 1926's "Not to Be Trusted" to 2014's "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Who's down "The Whole Truth" director Courtney Hunt has lost her leading man. Daniel Craig abruptly dropped out of the courtroom drama that was to start shooting on Monday.
