In 1962, Corey began working in films again, and remained active into the 1990s. He made guest appearances in many TV shows. His best known appearance probably was as Sheriff Bledsoe in 1969’s “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”. Although he primarily worked in American films and television he did make two appearances in European westerns: he appeared as President Abraham Lincoln in 1965’s “Treasure of the Aztecs” with Pierre Brice and Lex Barker and as Merridew with Yul Brynner in 1971’s “Catlow”. Corey died on August 16, 2002 as a result of a fall at his home. Today we remember him on what would have been his 95th birthday.
