To those of a certain age his most famous role was in the classic 1956 science fiction thriller Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it was theatre where Kevin McCarthy first entertained an audience. In 1938 he made his Broadway debut in Abe Lincoln in Illinois followed by Two for the Seesaw in 1959 and in 1960 in Advice and Consent. He also did the road circuit for more than two decades in the one-man show about President Harry S. Truman Give ’Em Hell, Harry. In addition to his appearance in the Invasion… cult classic, McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar in his first film role as Willy Loman’s son in Death of a Salesman in 1951. Throughout his long career the versatile actor was seen on stage, film and on television. Kevin McCarthy aged 96 died on September 11.
