How tall is Philip Carey?
Philip Carey started out as a regular movie actor in Westerns, war stories and crime yarns in the 1950s but did not reach full-fledged stardom until he entered the daytime line-up as Texas tycoon Asa Buchanan in 1979 on the famous One Life to Live soap (1968). After that he lived out of the saddle pretty much, loving the position of patriarch for almost three decades. He was born on 15 July 1925 in Hackensack, New Jersey, with the very unrugged name of Eugene Carey. Growing up on Long Island, during World War II and the Korean War he served in the Marine Corps. He attended Mohawk University in New York and studied acting at Miami University, where he met his college sweetheart, Maureen Peppler. They married in 1949 and went on to have three children: Linda, Jeffrey and Lisa Ann.
