Carey L. Hastings — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Carey L. Hastings plays character leads at the Thanhouser studio, and is a wonder in the art of make-up.

She is generally cast as a mother and thus far has “adopted” no less than eight pairs of twins and about thirty singles ranging from a week to three or four years of age. When Miss Hastings first became attracted to motion pictures she was playing the titular role in “Mother.”

After a long period of success in New York stock she joined the New Rochelle forces and is still congratulating herself on her choice.

She is at her best in parts that are strongly dramatic but also puts considerable “punch” into her comedy characterizations.

Miss Hastings is loved by all who know her and her dressing room is a haven of comfort for the homesick girls of the studio. When anyone wishes a confidant “Caddie” is the usual choice.
