Harry Carey Jr. worked in the golden era of Western movies, rubbing elbows -- or chaps -- with many of the the genre's legends, including actors John Wayne and Ben Johnson and directors John Ford and Howard Hawks.
Harry Carey Jr., a character actor who Carey's career spanned more than 50 years and included such John Ford classics as "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," "The Searchers" and "The Long Gray Line." Later in life, he appeared in the movies "Gremlins" and "Back to the Future Part III." He also starred in such Westerns as "3 Godfathers" and "Wagon Master," has died.
His daughter, Melinda Carey, said he died Thursday of natural causes surrounded by family at a hospice facility in Santa Barbara, California. He was 91 when he passed.
Thanks for the great acting, Harry… Rest In Peace.
