Carey
was one of the pioneers of early live television in the days when
"live" was REALLY "live." He first made his mark in New York City
writing scripts for dramatic series like Playhouse 90, and then spent the next three
decades writing for a slew of TV shows -- westerns, dramas, science fiction, detective,
and daytime. The Internet Movie Database
lists a small number of scripts in the Carey
Wilber Filmography, but that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Carey's Science Fiction credits
included shows like Captain Video, Lost in Space, Star Trek,
and Time Tunnel.
He was a prolific writer
for Western
shows like Bonanza, Big Valley, and Maverick.
Carey's Dramatic scripts
ranged from Playhouse 90, Twilight Zone, and To Catch a Thief to
General Hospital, for which he wrote the wildly popular "Ice Princess"
story in 1980.
