on of Harry Carey and Olive Carey.
Appeared with his father Harry Carey in the film Red River (1948).
Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2003.
Son-in-law of Paul Fix.
His father, actor Harry Carey started his career in 1909 at the 'American Mutoscope & Biograph' Company.
Has four children with wife, Marilyn Carey (married 1944).
Underwent hip surgery following a fall in September 2009.
Harry Carey, Jr., had been reliable character actor for decades, mostly in
Westerns, before he retired. He is the son of the actor
Harry Carey
and the actress
Olive Carey.
He as born on his parents' 1000-acre ranch near Saugus, in the northwestern part
of Los Angeles County, which is now next door to Santa Clarita, a large town
that certainly did not exist in 1947 or for decades longer. Thus, the young
Harry Carey, Jr., grew up among cattle and horses at the ranch. Because of a
large group of Navajo Indians who worked on his parents' ranch, he learned to
speak the Navajo language at the same time that he was learning to speak
English.
During World War II, Carey enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and he served in the
Pacific Theater first as a Navy medical corpsman. However, he was transferred
back to the United States (against his wishes) to serve under his father's good
friend, the director
John Ford,
in making movies for the Navy (training films)and the O.S.S. (propaganda films).
After World War II ended, Carey tried to make a career in singing, but he was
not successful at this. Hence, he moved into acting, and after a couple of small
acting parts, he was given a chance to work in a motion picture with his father,
the
John Wayne
film
Red River
(1948). (However, the father and the son did not have any scenes with one
another). After the death of Harry Carey, Sr., in 1946, Mr. Ford gave the
younger Carey a leading role in the movie that Ford dedicated to the memory of
Harry Carey, Sr., in 1948,
3 Godfathers
(1948).
As a full-fledged member of the noted John Ford Stock Company, Carey, Jr.,
appeared in many of Mr. Ford's epic Westerns during the following two decades.
Carey also starred in a series-within-a-series on TV,
"The Adventures of Spin and Marty"
(1955), which was shown as a part of
"The Mickey Mouse Club"
(1955). Very boyish looks characterized Carey's early years, but he matured into
a strong and familiar character actor over the following four decades, and he
acted in scores of films and TV programs in his long career. Carey, Jr., is
married to Marilyn Fix Carey, the daughter of the actor
Paul Fix.
Harry Carey Jr.. was born on May 16, 1921, at the ranch of his parents, actors
Olive Carey
and
Harry Carey.
His father gave him the nickname "Dobe" shortly after his birth because the
baby's red hair reminded him of the adobe soil at the ranch. Dobe went to school
in the Newhall Public Schools, and then went to the Black Foxe Military
Institute in Hollywood.
His dream was to become a classical singer like the opera
singer/movie star
Lawrence Tibbett,
and he moved to New York City to study voice. In 1939 Dobe got his first paying
job as a performer at the New York World's Fair, as a horse-rider in the show
"Railroads on Parade." He become a page at the National Broadcasting Co. in
1941, but with the declaration of war he joined the Navy. In his three years as
a sailor he served as a medical corpsman before being transferred to director
John Ford's
photographic unit, which was part of the Navy but also worked for the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS), the predecessor of the CIA. Ford had been the director
on many Dobe's father's silent westerns and was close to his parents. Dobe
protested against the transfer, but it was made nonetheless.
He married Marilyn Fix, the daughter of the actor
Paul Fix,
in 1944 while he was on leave from in the Navy. They have remained married for
over 60 years, and have four children and three grandchildren (so far).
After being discharged from the Navy at the end of the war, Carey followed his
father into acting in 1946 by accepting a role in
Rolling Home
(1946), and then following it up with a featured role in
Raoul Walsh's
Pursued
(1947). Carey's long association with
John Wayne
began in
Howard Hawks's
classic western
Red River
(1948), and his long-time acting association with Ford began with his role as
"The Abilene Kid" in
3 Godfathers
(1948), a movie that was dedicated to his father, who had passed away in 1947.
Ford had been the director of the original version of this movie in 1919, which
had starred Carey's father. John Wayne was Carey's co-star, and the pair acted
together in nine more movies.
Carey became a member in good standing of John Ford's stock company of actors.
He appeared in the Ford/Wayne films
De heldhaftige stormloop
(1949),
Rio Grande
(1950) and
The Searchers
(1956), and with Ford but without Wayne in
Wagon Master
(1950) and
The Long Gray Line
(1955). Carey also appeared in
Mister Roberts
(1955) (which was begun by Ford but completed by
Mervyn LeRoy
after a couple of weeks of filming). He worked with Ford and Wayne again in
Two Rode Together
(1961), and in
Cheyenne Autumn
(1964) without Wayne. Other movies filmed in which he worked with Wayne, but not
Ford, were
Island in the Sky
(1953),
Gun the Man Down
(1956),
Escort West
(1958),
Rio Bravo
(1959),

(1969),

Guy Madison (January 19, 1922 – February 6, 1996) was an American film and television actor.
19 january 1922, Pumpkin Center, California, USA (Emphysema)
Date of death: 6 February 1996, Palm Springs, California, USA (emphysema) Heigth: 6' (1.83 m), years active: 1944-1988, father of 4 children.
uy Madison appeared in 85 films, on radio, and television, finding his niche in the 1940s and starring as James Butler Hickock in the television series "Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok" (1951). A radio version of the show aired on the Mutual network from 1951-1956.
Handsome American leading man Guy Madison stumbled into a film career and became a television star and hero to the Baby Boom generation. As a young man he worked as a telephone lineman, but entered the Coast Guard at the beginning of the Second World War. While on liberty one weekend in Hollywood, he attended a Lux Radio Theatre broadcast and was spotted in the audience by an assistant to Henry Willson, an executive for David O. Selznick. Selznick wanted an unknown sailor to play a small but prominent part in Since You Went Away (1944), and promptly signed Robert Moseley to a contract. Selznick and Willson concocted the screen name Guy Madison (the "guy" girls would like to meet, and Madison from a passing Dolly Madison cake wagon). Madison filmed his one scene on a weekend pass and returned to duty. The film's release brought thousands of fan letters for Madison's lonely, strikingly handsome young sailor, and at war's end he returned to find himself a star-in-the-making. Despite an initial amateurishness to his acting, Madison grew as a performer, studying and working in theatre. He played leads in a series of programmers before being cast as legendary lawman Wild Bill Hickok in the TV series "Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok" (1951). He played Hickok on TV and radio for much of the 1950s, and many of the TV episodes were strung together and released as feature films. Madison managed to squeeze in some more adult-oriented roles during his off-time from the series, but much of this work was also in westerns. After the Hickok series ended Madison found work scarce in the U.S. and traveled to Europe, where he became a popular star of Italian westerns and German adventure films. In the 1970s he returned to the U.S., but appeared mainly in cameo roles. Physical ailments limited his work in later years, and he died from emphysema in 1996. His first wife was actress Gail Russell. His best friend was actor Rory Calhoun who was later named 'godfather' to Madison's eldest daughter Bridget. Grandson (Spc.) Spencer T. Karol (daughter Bridget's son) was killed serving his country in Iraq October, 2003.
He was awarded 2 Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Radio at 6933 Hollywood Boulevard and for Television at 6333 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. Was to play the role of Thad in The Proud Ones (1956) but dropped out to act in Hilda Crane (1956).
Madison was signed by RKO Pictures in 1946 and began appearing in romantic comedies and dramas, but his wooden acting style hurt his chances of advancing in films. In 1951, television came to the rescue of his faltering career when he was cast in The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, which ran for six years. Following his television series, he appeared in several more films before leaving for Europe, where he found greater success in spaghetti westerns.
Madison was married to actresses Gail Russell (1949–1954) and Sheila Connolly (1954–1964). Both marriages ended in divorce. He had three daughters, Bridget Catherine (born April 26, 1955), Erin Patricia (born July 21, 1956), and Dolly Ann (born September 10, 1957).
Madison died from emphysema at the age of 74 and was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cathedral City, California. For his contribution to the television industry, Guy Madison has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6331 Hollywood Boulevard. http://www.guymadison.com/

13 July 1941, Rochester, New York, USA
5' 9½" (1.77 m)
Robert Forster was born in Rochester, New York in 1941 and first become
interested in acting while attending Rochester's Madison High School where he
performed as a song-and-dance man in musical revues. After graduating in 1959,
Forster attended Heidelberg College, Alfred University, and the University of
Rochester on football scholarships and continued to perform in student
theatrical revues.
After earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Rochester in 1963, Forster
took an apprenticeship at an East Rochester theater where he performed in such
plays as "West Side Story." Forster moved to New York City in 1965, where his
first big break came when he landed the lead in the two-character play "Mrs.
Dally Has a Lover" opposite Arlene Francis. But after the play ran its course,
work was hard to find in the theater. Forster returned to Rochester where he
worked as a substitute teacher and construction worker until an agent from 20th
Century Fox Pictures offered him a five-picture deal. His movie
debut
was a small part in the 1967 drama Reflections in a Golden Eye, which starred
Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando. Forster went on to appear in small and minor
roles and acting alongside some top Hollywood actors in films like The Stalking
Moon (1968) and Medium Cool (1969), and a large part in Justine (1969). Although
he continued to act in feature films, he took the part of a hardboiled detective
in the short-lived 1972 TV series "Banyon."
Forster also appeared in notable parts in The Black Hole (1979), Avalanche
(1978), and as the lead in the cult horror flick Alligator (1980), and played
the part of a factory worker-turned-vigilante in the 1982 thriller Vigilante.
Forster also was offered the lead as a taxi driver in Walking the Edge (1983) by
director Norbert Meisel. A series of action flicks followed, the most notable
being Delta Force (1986) which starred Chuck Norris. By the late 1980s Forster's
acting career had begun to slide, with work becoming less and less, and if there
was any, he would be cast in small parts playing villains. Forster then began to
work as a motive speaker and an acting coach in Hollywood film schools.
But then in the mid-1990s, Forster's career was resurrected by writer-director
Quentin Tarantino, a long-time fan of Forster's early work, who offered him an
audition for a part in his latest movie. After a seven-hour audition, Tarantino
cast Forster in the role of the tough but sympathetic bail bondsman Max Cherry
in Jackie Brown (1997), which netted him an Academy
Award
nomination and some nationwide recognition. His success landed him more
high-profile starring roles in films such as All the Rage (1998), Gus Van Sant's
remake of Psycho (1998), and Supernova (2000). Forster continues to act in many
big budget Hollywood productions playing many charming characters who often
steal the scene
Father of three daughters, with June Forster, Elizabeth (born 1967) Kate Forster (born 1969) and Maeghen (born 1972).
Attended University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Majored in psychology.
nce worked as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman.
Forster made a test for a part in the film True Romance (1993), directed by Tony Scott, but Christopher Walken eventually got the role.
Appeared with former NFL star/actor Fred Williamson in 4 films: _Night Vision (1997/I)_, Original Gangstas (1996), South Beach (1993), and Vigilante (1983).
In the books-on-tape world, Forster provides the voice for Midnight Louie, a crime-fighting tomcat in Las Vegas. The author of the Midnight Louie book series is Carole Nelson Douglas
The role of Jake Nyman in 'American Perfekt' (1997) was written specifically for him by British director and close friend, Paul Chart. The film was officially selected for the 50th Anniversary Cannes Film Festival.
Has a son, Robert Junior (born 1965), with an ex-girlfriend named Marlene.
Was considered for the role of Martini in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975).
Personal Quotes: [talking about his character in Jackie Brown]: "This is the great noir hero. If Humphrey Bogart or Robert Mitchum were around today, they'd be playing that role."
[talking about luck in the movie business]: "I'm not sure how a guy wins or loses in this business, but somebody's got to come along and make you lucky.You can't do it yourself."
[talking about the rules to succeed in Hollywood]: "Step No. 1 is you've got to have a good attitude, Step No. 2 is accept all things, deliver excellence to whatever is offered, give it your best shot. And rule No. 3 is never quit. It's not over till it's over."
[talking about Quentin Tarantino and his relashionship with the cast]:"This guy is very smart, and he's great to his actors. He wants them to be great. He keeps the stuff fresh. When he gave me the script he knew I hadn't had a big part like this in twenty-five years and he said, "Here, read this, and don't put any pressure on yourself. Just prepare the way you normally prepare." And I said, "Oh, what a liberating thing." This guy is totally secure. He doesn't seem to be worried about anything. He's as good a guy as I have ever worked with. He screened movies once a week for his crew. One of them was American Perfekt (1997), a recent indie film I did.The last week of production he threatened to screen it for the crew and I said to him, "Listen, there's a tiny bit of 'adult content' in this, so I don't want to hear any catcalls. I don't know if it this is the right thing to screen." He got on the walkie-talkie and said "Hey, anybody who wants to see Forster naked come on in!"
[talking about his comeback and the comparison with John Travolta's career turn in Pulp Fiction]:"If I get ten percent of John Travolta's bounce, I will be thrilled."
[when asked about the reason why Tarantino likes to revive the careers of actors who the show business have written off]: "He grew fond of people. He told me that he loved Pam Grier when he was a kid and I guess he saw Alligator (1980) and The Banker (1989) all those pictures that I worked on during those years and apparently he said, 'I like this guy and one of these days I'm going to use him.'"
"I wouldn't know, but I just know this: If I can ever find a character where I get laughs, I hope that is the thing that endures. There's nothing better than getting a laugh." (on what roles he's played that will endure best through the passage of time)
Robert Forster (born July 13, 1941) is an American actor, best known for his roles as John Cassellis in Haskell Wexler's Medium Cool, and as Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, the latter of which gaining him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Forster completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in history at the University of Rochester, where he starred in student dramatic performances such as Bye Bye Birdie and, after initially intending to go on to study law, instead decided to forego his future legal career in favor of pursuing drama. He graduated with a B.A. in history in 1964.
Forster recorded a public service announcement for Deejay Ra's 'Hip-Hop Literacy' campaign, encouraging reading of books by Elmore Leonard (he starred in the movie adaption of Leonard's book Rum Punch, Jackie Brown, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor). Forster is also a motivational speaker.
He appears in the hit NBC show Heroes as Arthur Petrelli, the father of Nathan and Peter Petrelli.
Twice divorced, Forster is a father of four children. His oldest child, Kate Forster (born 1969), has worked as an actress, also appearing in Mulholland Drive.
