Mae West: George E. Carey

In 1978, George E. Carey was cast in "Sextette" as Dockweiler, an anxious State Department official who needs a favor from Marlo Manners played by MAE WEST. Born in Detroit during the month of July — — on 13 July 1924 — — the bit part player was surrounded by marquee names who were navigating a nettlesome plot.
• • In "Sextette," conjugal bliss is being interminably delayed for the busy bride. Installed at the same hotel is the Sussex Court, occupied with an international conference led by the avuncular American diplomat Chambers (Walter Pidgeon, in his last performance) — — and, wouldn't you know it? One of their delegates is stubborn Soviet ‘Sexy’ Alexei Karansky (Tony Curtis), a former lover of Marlo’s who has refused to vote ‘da’ on a resolution of tremendous importance to world peace.
• • Dockweiler approaches Marlo’s manager Turner (Dom DeLuise) with an urgent plea from Uncle Sam: can his client somehow entice Alexei Karansky into, mmmm, changing his vote? In between trading yearning glances with her handsome groom and fending off former husbands, Marlo now has to consider her duty to The White House and the Secretary of State, for heaven's sake. It's enough to make a lady's bridal lace go limp.
• • According to All Movie Guide writer Sandra Brennan: Supporting actor and producer George Edward Carey appeared on television and in feature films. Fans of the ABC soap opera General Hospital may know him for having played Lamont Corbin. Carey's 30-plus film credits include The Gallant Hours (1960), Sex and the Single Girl (1964), and The Thing With Two Heads (1972). He has produced and written screenplays for two films, Weekend With the Babysitter (1970) and Chrome and Hot Leather (1971). Carey often guest starred on TV and also worked in commercials.
• • On 21 November 1994, George E. Carey died in Palm Springs, California at the age of 70.
