A su muerte, dejó tres millones de dólares de su patrimonio a Yaddo, la comunidad de artistas en el norte de Nueva York. Su primera novela Strangers on a Train, fue convertida en una famosa película de Alfred Hitchcock en 1951. Su última novela Small g: A Summer Idyll se publicó póstumamente poco más de un mes después.
