Personal Life
McCoy married Agnes Miller, the daughter of the famous British stage actor and producer Henry Miller. 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".(See 1931 divorce decree at Big Horn County, Wyoming, Clerk of Court's office)
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 intereviewed 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. Seymour Hersh contends that Kennedy tried to recover those audiotapes during his presidency.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
