- Fern Foster was the first wife of silent cowboy star Harry Carey, whom she co-starred with in his play "Two Women and that Man" on Broadway. The play, which opened at the Majestic Theatre on October 18, 1909, was a flop, lasting only 16 performances.
Fern followed Harry into motion pictures, making her film debut in His Day (1912). Harry began his evolution into a star, appearing in films for director D.W. Griffith at Biograph, and in 1914, he cast her in two movies he wrote and directed for the Progressive Motion Picture Co., The Master Cracksman (1914) and McVeagh of the South Seas (1914).
Foster retired from the movies after making the two pictures with her husband. Harry later divorced Fern and married his co-star in his "Cheyenne Harry" Westerns, Olive Golden (Olive Carey), in 1920.
