Thanks for the update Paula.
I still treasure my signed hardback

Here is a short video of Harry & Ben
which I believe has not been posted before,
if so, it's nice to remind ourselves of their enduring friendship.
They Rode Their Trails Together
Thanks to Russ Brown for informing us

Another great pic

Quote from Colorado Bob

I know that he originally wanted to be a singer, but did not think he was good enough. Personally I think he had a very good singing voice.

I agree Bob, lovely voice

Quote from Paula

His book Company of Heroes is one of my all-time favorite movie books and I've read a lot of movie books.

I agree, and like Kevin and I am sure other members,
I too have an autographed book.
Great read, and just to remind everyone of
Harry's legacy, here is our profile

COMPANY OF HEROES:
My Life As An actor In The John Ford Stock Company
Harry Carey.Jr, (1994)

In my opinion, not only the best book about Ford, it’s also one of the best about Wayne as well.
The long-time member of Ford’s Stock company tells it all. And it’s so much fun.

Product Description
When Harry Carey, Sr. died in 1947, director John Ford cast
Carey's 26-year-old son, Harry, Jr. in the role of The Abilene Kid in 3 Godfathers.
Ford and the elder Carey had filmed an earlier version of the story,
and Ford dedicated the Technicolor remake to his memory. "Company of Heroes"
is the story of the making of that film, as well as the eight subsequent Ford classics.
In it, Harry Carey, Jr. casts a remarkably observant eye on the process
of filming Westerns by one of the true masters of the form.
From She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and "Wagonmaster"
to The Searchers and "Cheyenne Autumn",
he shows the care, tedium, challenge, and exhilaration
of movie-making at its highest level.
Carey's portrayal of John Ford at work is the most intimate ever written
He also gives us insightful and original portraits of the men and women
who were part of Ford's vision of America:
John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara,
Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, and Ben Johnson.
Funny, insightful, and brutally honest, "
Company of Heroes
is a rip-roaring good read that presents the remarkable life story of
Harry Carey, Jr. and his many continuing fine performances.

It is confirmed, and so very sad.
Harry had written a couple of notes,
to me personally, and so I feel deeply
about his passing.

He was gentlemen a fine actor and a credit to the movie industry.

He will be sadly missed

I still treasure the personally signed book and the notes that Harry sent me.
Oddly I also kept the address label Marilyn wrote out,
when she posted it from her local post office

Many thanks for that Jim.
I still treasure that book and the notes Harry sent me.
Oddily I also kept the address label Marilyn wrote out.

Perhaps if Marilyn does take a look here,
she'll also endorse this Forum,
and not just the 'Official' as they currently do!

I like this photo:-

Here’s a great group of Western film veterans,
gathered in the mid-1980s for a documentary that never saw the light of day:
Iron Eyes Cody, Pat Buttram, Harry Carey, Jr., and Yakima Canutt.
Of the four, only Carey—the best storyteller and historian of them all—is still with us.
I asked Mr. Canutt if it was true that he could turn over a stagecoach
and have it land on an exact camera mark
and he said yes in such an authoritative way that I had no reason to doubt him.

Hi Overland and headinwest,
As we seem to have new theads being opened relating to
Harry Carey Jr., I think, for contunuity reasons,
it's time to merge them all into our dedicated thread

Hi,
He was,

Quote

* Western star Harry Carey died in 1947. Director John Ford cast Carey's wife (Olive Carey) as Mrs. Jorgensen (the mother) and Carey's son (Harry Carey Jr.) as one of the sons (Brad) as a tribute to Carey. In the closing scene with John Wayne framed in the doorway, Wayne holds his right elbow with his left hand in a pose that Carey fans would recognize as one that he often used. Wayne later stated he did it as a tribute to Carey. Off-camera, Olive watched.

Hi Clyde,
Thanks for sharing this.
Harry wrote me a couple of notes a couple of years back,
as a thank you for writing this about him.

HARRY CAREY

When I was ROLLING HOME, along THE LONG GRAY LINE
persued by THE SEARCHERS,THE LONG RIDER, THE RAIDERS
and the 3 GODFATHERS,I came to the RIVERS EDGE, of the RIO GRANDE,
where there was a wonderful MOONRISE.

I came across,SOME SWEETHEARTS ON PARADE,who are an
ENDANGERED SPECIES, and as GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES
I said KISS THEM FOR ME, but don't make
it a PUBLIC AFFAIR

I've had some WILD TIMES, as THE OUTCAST, FROM HELL TO TEXAS
