JackFavell Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I would love to see TCM give this grand old man of westerns - *Harry Carey, Jr.* - a tribute day, maybe an interview or even a SOTM slot. He's such a lovely man, and has given such a lot to the film industry. He knew so many of the greats. His book, *Company of Heroes*, is a fascinating read, and describes the making of many great films with a good hearted spin. It would be a shame to lose him and all he knows before he is interviewed by TCM or appreciated in some way. Thanks, TCM, for listening!

pvitari Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 An enthusiastic second of the motion to give Harry Carey, Jr. his own day on TCM -- and I'd especially love it if they scheduled it for an August Summer Under the Stars slot. He is one of the last of the great cowboy stars and it's high time TCM officially gave him some movie love. <a href='http://postimage.org/' target='_blank'><img src='http://s19.postimage.org/vez7kryhf/TG_283.jpg' border='0' alt="TG#283" /></a><br /><a target='_blank' href='http://postimage.org/'>photo hosting</a><br /><br /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Here! Here! I completely agree. He's one of the few remaining links to the very beginning of the cowboy movies (via his dad, Harry Carey, Sr.) and worked right up just a few years ago. He's always been ready to say great things about the stars and directors he knew. Some kind of tip of the hat just for him would be lovely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHfqiyGiMrA&list=PL5984962EF948C34A&index=54&feature=plpp_video Edited by: MissGoddess on Sep 8, 2012 12:41 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Gosh that video is so lovely! I adore seeing them together. I am glad you pointed out his link to silent film as well... he ties us to all of film history in one person! Harry Carey, Jr. - *"Lest we forget.... "* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohanaka Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Wouldn't it indeed be a treat to see him honored that way. Hope the TCM programming gurus have their ears.. um.. I mean eyes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Me too, Ro, me too! TCM programmer has been fantastic in these matters before, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they see this and respond with some kind of tribute.

pvitari Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 You know, I * deleted * that first message and yet it turns up anyway. Using the TCM board for me is about as much fun as taking an ice bath outdoors in the middle of a January blizzard. Are you listening, TCM? I try to reply and I get sent back to the front page of the forum. I can't seem to post photos, no matter what code I use. (If there is an icon to click on to add a photo link, I don't see it.) It won't let me edit (it asks me if I want to leave the page if I try to edit) and it won't delete messages even when I click on "discard." And despite all this, here I am breaking my "stay away from the TCM forum because all it will do is drive you crazy" rule because I do want to tell TCM -- It's time for a Harry Carey Jr. day. In the words of a great starship captain -- "Make it so!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbaetz Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Let me add my 2 cents. It would be a "SPECIAL" event to see Robert and Harry sit down and start talking. Let's hope someone can make this happen. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casablancalover2 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yes, these connections to our Hollywood past are getting rarer and need to be preserved. I am all in for a Tribute too!

pvitari Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Dear Cinemaven, how in the world do you get that photo to show up? I have tried every code provided and all I get is the code text, not the photo itself. I really appreciate you posting for me since I sure can't figure out how to do it.

JackFavell Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Maven, fredb, and Casablancalover, thanks so much for adding your thoughts and wishes for a Harry Carey, Jr. tribute. It would be awesome to see this happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvitari Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Cinemaven has sent me the double-super-secret instructions to how to post a photo. I don't know if this means she has to kill me now or anything, but at least I can post one more of Harry Carey Jr. from 3 Godfathers. I hope. (If I write something, and then click "preview" I can see what I wrote and if the photo works, but if I try to EDIT the preview panel, it won't let me edit anything, so I have to "leave the page" and start all over again. The sheer "brilliance" of the encoding of this board leaves me breathless. Anyway, since I can't really preview it and fix it in preview, here it is... either as a real photo or just more code.

pvitari Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Jeepers, it worked! *faint* (The above posted after the board once again sent me to the front page when I signed in, rather back to the message thread.) Well, it's been fun communing with ya'll on the TCM board but I can't take any more of this place for a while. TCM -- please try to improve this forum (it would be nice if one could actually EDIT in "preview") and also please give Harry Carey, Jr. his much deserved day on TCM.
