Hollywood Royalty! In the Shadows of Giants with Melinda Carey. Harry Carey! John Wayne! John Ford!

Actor Harry Carey's silent westerns helped launch the career of multi-award winning director John Ford.  Carey's son, nicknamed "Dobe" because of the reddish color of his hair, followed his famous father into films launching his career with a starring role in Ford's "Three Godfathers" (1947) with John Wayne. Raised during the Golden Age of Hollywood amongst legends, Dobe married actor/teacher Paul Fix's daughter Marilyn.  Paul, of course, was Sheriff Micah on "The Rifleman."  Melinda Carey, Dobe and Marilyn's daughter, shared her memories of growing up with cinema legends on A WORD ON WESTERNS.
