The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 15, 2013
Today we wish a very happy 86th birthday to Joe Turkel! Most folks remember him as one of the three scapegoated prisoners, along with Timothy and Ralph Meeker, from Paths of Glory (1957).

STECKLER: So I went to Long Beach to shoot this movie [The World's Greatest Sinner] with 200 extras smashing up the Coliseum; it was wild, and we did some crazy things.

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jul 7, 2013
We are indebted to 50 Westerns From the 50s blogger Toby Roan (and his wife!) for this week’s quote. This is the earliest newspaper tidbit about Timothy that I’ve seen to date. Timothy Carey of Brooklyn followed Horace Greeley‘s advice, went West and landed a screen role with Clark read more

Quote of the Week (98)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 30, 2013
The first time I met [Francis Ford] Coppola, he kept asking me to do The Godfather. So I did a little Italian scene and they kept asking me to come up to San Francisco to do a tape there, but I didn’t go up, I just didn’t feel like going. I was in the middle of doing Tweet’s Ladies read more

Quote of the Week (97)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 23, 2013
I had my heart set on Timothy Carey to play the tramp who asks Debbie [Reynolds] for a handout [in What's the Matter with Helen? (1971)].
