Veteran character actor Harry Carey Jr. has passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carey was best known for appearing in many westerns, including the John Ford classics She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and The Searchers.  Mr Carey, the son of Oscar-nominated actor Harry Carey Sr (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), published a memoir in 1994: "Company of Heroes: My Life as an Actor in the John Ford Stock Company".

He was also a veteran of WWII, serving in the United States Navy.

    This year has seen the passing of SO many "oldie goldies." Seems like far more than usual.

    Rest in peace, Mr. Harry Carey, Jr.

    TCM might not update their video for 2012, but I'm sure they will include the three recent passings in their 2013 video.

    They are usually good about doing that.
