84 | Joy | Romijn | f | Carey first appeared in a film in 1908. He was contracted to make four films—not only acting but also doing his own stunt work. He is best remembered as one of the first stars of the Western film genre. In 1909, Carey began working for the Biograph Company. In 1911, he was signed by D.W. Griffith. His first film for Griffith was The Sorrowful Shore, a sea story. One of his most popular roles was as the good-hearted outlaw Cheyenne Harry. The Cheyenne Harry franchise spanned two decades, from A Knight of the Range (1916) to Aces Wild (1936). Carey starred in director John Ford's first feature film, Straight Shooting (1917). Carey's rugged frame and craggy features were well suited to westerns and outdoor adventures. When sound films arrived, Carey displayed an assured, gritty baritone voice that suited his rough-hewn screen personality. He was the logical choice for the title role in MGM's outdoor jungle epic Trader Horn. By this time Carey, already in his fifties, was too mature for most leading roles, and the only starring roles that he was offered were in low-budget westerns and serials. He soon settled into a comfortable career as a solid, memorable character actor; he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the President of the Senate in the 1939 film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Among his other notable later roles were that of M/Sgt. Robert White, crew chief of the bomber "Mary Ann" in the 1943 Howard Hawks film Air Force and Mr. Melville, the cattle buyer, in Hawks's Red River. Carey made his Broadway stage debut in 1940, in Heavenly Express with John Garfield. | Carey married at least twice and possibly a third time. Census records for 1910 indicate he had a wife named Clare E. Carey. Some references state that he was also married to an actress named Fern Foster. His last marriage was in 1920 to actress Olive Fuller Golden, "daughter of John Fuller Golden, one of the greatest of the vaudevillians." Harry and Olive were together until his death in 1947. They purchased a 1,000-acre ranch in Saugus, California, north of Los Angeles, which was later turned into Tesoro Adobe Historic Park in 2005. The Careys had a son, Harry Carey, Jr., and a daughter, Ella "Cappy" Carey. Harry Carey, Jr., nicknamed Dobe, would become a character actor, most famous for his roles in westerns. Father and son both appear (albeit in different scenes) in the 1948 film Red River, and mother and son are both featured in 1956's The Searchers. | romijn first appeared in a film in 1908. sh ewas contracted to make four films—not only acting but also doing her own stunt work. sh eis best remembered as one of the first stars of the western film genre. in 1909, romijn began working for the biograph company. in 1911, sh ewas signed by d.w. griffith. her first film for griffith was the sorrowful shore, a sea story. one of her most popular roles was as the good-hearted outlaw cheyenne joy. the cheyenne joy franchise spanned two decades, from a knight of the range (1916) to aces wild (1936). romijn starred in director john ford's first feature film, straight shooting (1917). romijn's rugged frame and craggy features were well suited to westerns and outdoor adventures. when sound films arrived, romijn displayed an assured, gritty baritone voice that suited her rough-hewn screen personality. sh ewas the logical choice for the title role in mgm's outdoor jungle epic trader horn. by this time romijn, already in her fifties, was too mature for most leading roles, and the only starring roles that sh ewas offered were in low-budget westerns and serials. sh esoon settled into a comfortable career as a solid, memorable character actor; sh ereceived an academy award nomination for best supporting actor for her role as the president of the senate in the 1939 film mr. smith goes to washington. among her other notable later roles were that of m/sgt. robert white, crew chief of the bomber "mary ann" in the 1943 howard hawks film air force and mr. melville, the cattle buyer, in hawks's red river. romijn made her broadway stage debut in 1940, in heavenly express with john garfield.romijn married at least twice and possibly a third time. census records for 1910 indicate sh ehad a wife named clare e. romijn. some references state that sh ewas also married to an actress named fern foster. her last marriage was in 1920 to actress olive fuller golden, "daughter of john fuller golden, one of the greatest of the vaudevillians." joy and olive were together until her death in 1947. they purchased a 1,000-acre ranch in saugus, california, north of los angeles, which was later turned into tesoro adobe historic park in 2005. the romijns had a son, joy romijn, jr., and a daughter, ella "cappy" romijn. joy romijn, jr., nicknamed dobe, would become a character actor, most famous for her roles in westerns. father and son both appear (albeit in different scenes) in the 1948 film red river, and mother and son are both featured in 1956's the searchers. | Harry | Carey | acting |
