Biography

Carey Loftin, widely regarded as one of the most accomplished stunt drivers in Hollywood's history, brought his exceptional driving and stunt skills to numerous film productions over a nearly five-decade period. Born on January 31st, 1914, in Blountstown, Florida, Loftin's early involvement in movie stunt work dates back to the late 1930s.

With his expertise in motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, Loftin played a significant role in crafting thrilling car chase sequences for many cult films of the 1960s and 1970s. His impressive portfolio includes notable titles such as The Love Bug (1969),Bullitt (1968),Vanishing Point (1971),Diamonds Are Forever (1971),The French Connection (1971),Duel (1971),Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974),and White Line Fever (1975).

In addition to his behind-the-scenes work, Loftin also showcased his acting talents, appearing in over seventy minor roles throughout his long and distinguished career. His versatility and dedication to his craft allowed him to continue contributing stunt and driving work in feature films until his mid-seventies.

After a remarkable career spanning nearly five decades, Loftin retired from the film industry in 1991. He passed away in March 1997, in Huntington Beach, California, due to natural causes.
