Carey 's family eventually moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, where her father practiced as a physician. While attending Fort Collins High School she was briefly married and had a son. After graduating she was signed by the Powers agency, and moved to Los Angeles in 1964 with her son to pursue a modeling career. Carey enjoyed success as a model, but was more interested in acting. Aided by her beauty and trademark long, wild hair, she soon caught the eye of Hollywood producers. In 1964 she made her first television appearances. The following year she did more television work, had a small part in the kitsch classic How to Stuff a Wild Bikini ( 1965 ), and acted in her first major film, the 1966 Howard Hawks - produced and directed Western El Dorado, with a memorable role as high - spirited troublemaker Josephine `` Joey '' MacDonald. Carey went on to co-star in films such as Live a Little, Love a Little ( 1968 ), The Sweet Ride ( 1968 ), and Dirty Dingus Magee ( 1970 ), in which she played an anachronistically miniskirted Indian girl. On television she appeared in guest - starring roles on episodes of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ( 1966 ), Mission Impossible ( 1969 ), It Takes a Thief ( 1970 ), and three episodes of The Wild Wild West ( `` The Night of the Feathered Fury '', 1967 and the two - part `` The Night of the Winged Terror '' 1969 ), the December 1969 episode `` Tug - of - War '' on The F.B.I., Starsky and Hutch and Alias Smith and Jones. Carey played the title role in the 1972 Gunsmoke episode `` Tara '', appeared in the second The Six Million Dollar Man pilot film ( 1973 ) and provided the recurring female computer voice in A Man Called Sloane ( 1979 -- 80 ). Fading from view in the late 1970s, Carey staged a brief comeback in the mid - ' 80s in such films as In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro ( 1986 ). She also appeared as Crystal in a 1982 episode of the television series The Fall Guy. Carey married businessman Fred G. Strebel in 1999, and resided with him in Hillsborough and Rancho Mirage.
