Biographie

McCoy married Agnes Miller, the daughter of stage actor and producer Henry Miller and actress Bijou Heron. Their marriage resulted in three children: son Gerald, daughter Margarita, and son D'Arcy. They were divorced in 1931 and McCoy kept a portion of the ranch holdings in Hot Springs County, Wyoming. Agnes McCoy was rewarded with that portion known as the "Eagles Nest".

His second marriage was to Inga Arvad in 1946. They had two sons, Ronnie and Terry. McCoy was married to Arvad until her death from cancer in 1973. Arvad was a Danish journalist investigated in the early 1940s due to rumors that she was a Nazi spy, rumors that spawned from photographs of Arvad as Adolf Hitler's companion at the 1936 Olympics and that she had twice interviewed him. Arvad had two previous marriages and an affair with John F. Kennedy in late 1941 into 1942. Arvad was already being followed by the FBI when Kennedy was introduced to her. J. Edgar Hoover had his agents extend their investigation through wire-taps. There was no evidence found to show Arvad was guilty of "any wrongdoing" but that didn't deter Hoover's FBI from continued wire-taps of Arvad and Kennedy when they were together.
