96 Years old. Much like his career, to live a long, and full life like that, is quite an accomplishment. Every year around Halloween I always watch "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers". Because of that movie alone, he won't be forgotten.

I just spoke with Kevin on the phone two weeks ago. He was at his Cape Cod house. He was in great spirits with most of his family present for a visit. He usually spent part of every year at his Cape Cod house.
I recently worked with him on THE GHASTLY LOVE OF JOHNNY X and may very well be the last person to have directed him in a feature film. Hopefully the IMDb will get the title back on the site soon .. but probably too late for Kevin's obit.
Watch an exclusive behind-the-scenes video montage of the late great actor who recently completed work on JOHNNY X:
Long Live Walter Jameson, wherever you are!

Kevin Had a house in Sherman Oaks, California and one in Cape Cod, Mass. He divided his time between the two residences.

That I have no idea about. I am going to email his wife and see if the memorial will be private or public. Chances are it will be private.

In 2001 I had the honor of meeting Mr. McCarthy at Trek Expo. I have an autographed photo of him from INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. We spoke for about five minutes or so. We discussed his experience working on the first Hawaii Five-O episode FULL FATHOM FIVE. He fondly remembered it by saying something to the effect of "Ah yes, that was the one where I killed off the rich widows by stuffing them in 55 gallon drums!" and of course he said in that famous Kevin McCarthy way. A very charming and nice man. RIP and you are missed.
They're us. We're them and they're us.

It's funny, I rewatched Innerspace the other night (seeing it 12 years prior) and was wondering, "Gee, the villain in this seems awfully familiar to R.J. Fletcher. I wonder if he's still alive?"
But now, it appears he's passed on, leaving memories of his best roles with us.
RIP Mr.McCarthy, R.J. you sure knew how to steal a mop.
Now I have three sequels. Ho ho ho.
