Bio: Director, producer and screenwriter. He was born to Sally Priddy and Frank Fox in Purcell, Oklahoma, and was the brother of Edwin Carewe (Jay Fox) and Frank Fox. He was a native American and a member of the Chickasaw Nation. He began his film career as an assistant director for his brother, Edwin Carewe. In 1927, he got his first directing job in the silent film, "The Bandit's Son." He directed roughly 100 westerns in Hollywood between 1927 and 1954. All of his westerns for Monogram Pictures were mostly shot on Poverty Row. He also directed 38 other non-western films like "Laughing at Death" (1929), "Racing Lady" (1937), and "Jack Armstrong" (1947). He wrote and directed "Under The Cockeyed Moon" (1930) and "Red Morning" (1934). His last film was the western, "Montana Desperado" (1951). Before retiring, he worked exclusively on television with "White Goddess" (1953) and Annie Oakley's "Bull's Eye" (1954), but a short time later began producing and directing commercial films for the Jam Handy organization.
