Born to an attorney and his wife on February 15, 1914, in Seattle, Washington, actor Kevin McCarthy's parents died during a flu epidemic in 1918. He and his siblings,
including author Mary McCarthy, were sent to live with relatives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where they received poor treatment until moving in with their grandfather
in Wisconsin. McCarthy first took an interest in acting while attending the University of Minnesota in the 1930s. A success in college productions, he moved to New York
following graduation to pursue a career on the legitimate stage. McCarthy's first Broadway play was Abe Lincoln in Illinois, in which he had a supporting role.
The play ran from 1938 to 1939, earning good notices. In 1941, he married stage and television actress Augusta Dabney, and soon afterward, with U.S. involvement in
World War II McCarthy enlisted in the Army Air Force and became a military policeman. While in the service, he also had a role in Moss Hart's play Winged Victory
produced by the Army Air Forces from 1943 to 1944. After his discharge in 1945, McCarthy returned to Broadway in several plays, and as early television programming
began to ramp up in New York following World War II, he began taking roles on television. His first television appearance came in a January 1949 episode of
The Ford Theatre Hour. 
His film career began with Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman (1951; with Fredric March and Cameron Mitchell), released
by Columbia. McCarthy was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor in a supporting role. Strangely, however, after the film's release no other films came his
way, so he continued acting on Broadway and on television for the next few years. McCarthy's next film was the noir thriller Drive a Crooked Road (1954;
with Mickey Rooney), and he also acted in a couple of B westerns. His film career turned around in 1956 as the result of being cast in a B movie. Shot for about $400,000 and released
by Allied Artists, his role as Dr. Miles J. Bennell in the horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956; with Dana Wynter
and Carolyn Jones) was the one that ultimately put his film career on the map and is the role for which he is best remembered.
In the early 1960s, his film career took off but his first marriage soured. While a star in B movies, he usually landed supporting roles in A
pictures, such as The Misfits (1961; with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe), The Best Man (1964; with Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson), and Hotel (1967; with Rod Taylor).
