You will never be forgotten, I just got finished watching A Big Hand for a Little Lady, so young and handsome. Your wonderful works in film will always be with us, as constant as the stars, moon and the sun. Rest in peace Mr McCarthy, knowing that we are still watching you with admiration.

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING KEVIN MCCARTHY DURING THE LATE 50'S AND EARLY 60'S IN NYC, WHEN I LIVED NEARBY A CLOSE FRIEND , MONTGOMERY CLIFT. HIS CREATIVITY AS AN ACTOR WAS ASTOUNDING TO ME, AND HIS PERFORMANCE IN BOTH STAGE AND FILM OF "DEATH OF A SALESMAN", WAS WONDERFUL AND NEEDLESS TO EVEN MENTION HIS MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE IN "INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS" WE HAVE LOST A GREAT MAN AND A GREAT ACTOR. MY CONDOLENCES TO THE MCCARTHY FAMILY.

As a youth I first saw Mr. McCarthy play as a man who never aged in the Twilight Zone. A great actor who will be missed.

To Katie and the children, my condolences - it has always been a point in my life that Cousin Katie fell in love across a crowded room with handsome Kevin McCarthy. Our lives went on wildly different paths, and I didn't make Jim Beyer's wedding; all the guests were trying to figure if the tall distinguished guest was the local banker or an insurance agent - he was soooo familiar even in Missoula Montana.
From afar, I have followed the life and times of Kevin and Katie. I am very sad for you in this time. Bless you,
Nancy

Kevin was one of a kind, they don't make them that good any more. Convincing in every role. Favourite leading lady, the astoundingly beautiful Dana Wynter. This marks an end of an era. Condolences to his family

To the McCarthy family and friends. Your loss of such a wonderful man is sad. At the same time I'm thankful for all of you that he lived so long. He scared the dickens out of me in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" when I was young and I've had a love/hate relationship with that movie ever since, but never with Mr. McCarthy. He always had my deepest admiration. In everything I saw of him, he seemed to be the gentleman's gentleman. I miss him already and will definitely remember him in a wonderful way. May the Lord be with each and everyone of you and give comfort and peace, as only He can give. Good night, Mr. Kevin McCarthy! Rest in peace and I do hope that I'll meet you in Heaven some day.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of my very favorite movies. The year it was made (1956) was one of my best, too). I have enjoyed several movies and specials he appeared in, such as Twilight Zone where he was an ageless man who stayed the same for years until one of his wives shot him and he deteriorated. He was an awesome actor and I will always remember him fondly. May he rest in peace.

Always approachable and a great sense of humor. When I walk the streets of Sierra Madre, CA, where "...Body Snatchers" was filmed, I imagine him there. I hope his tombstone is engraved with this warning: "You're next!"

What sad news; what a great loss to Hollywood and the television community!! Mr. McCarthy was one of the finest character actors I ever saw. I never would have imagined that, like his character Prof. Walter Jameson, he would have lived such a long life. Now informed of how long he did live, it truly seems that he lived, not ninety-six years, but two thousand years. My condolences to his family, but I know that he will live on even now in the hearts of those who truly appreciated his work.

So sorry to hear about Kevin McCarthy. I was a very impressionable young teen when I saw him in a 50's film I believe entitled "Annapolis Story" - I was smitten and enjoyed all his performances. Kevin McCarthy was always so youthful looking - would never have thought him to be as old as he was. (Nancy Hawkins, Boiling Springs, PA)
