| # | Fact |
|---|
| 1 | While he was filming Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974) in 1973, he insisted on having a one million dollar life insurance policy before he would shoot any scenes involving the helicopter he was due to ride in. He was very insistent, and when asked why, Morrow replied "I have always had a premonition I was going to die in a helicopter crash!". As Morrow was waiting to film what would turn out to be scene that killed him in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), he said to a production assistant, "I must be out of my mind to be doing this. I should've asked for a stunt double. What can they do but kill me, right?!". |
| 2 | Born on February 14, 1929, the same day as the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago, an event strongly associated with the Thompson submachine gun. As Sergeant Chip Saunders in "Combat!" (1962), he became an iconic figure also strongly associated with the Thompson submachine gun. |
| 3 | Morrow had an elder brother, George, born 1924. |
| 4 | His epitaph was written by daughter Carrie Ann Morrow. It reads, "I loved him as 'Dad'; to everyone else he was 'Vic'". |
| 5 | His funeral was attended by Combat! (1962) co-stars Dick Peabody and Rick Jason...and by John Landis, who directed Morrow in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). All three gave separate eulogies; Peabody also served as one of Vic's pallbearers. |
| 6 | The pilot episode of his TV series Combat! (1962), was directed by Boris Sagal. Two decades after collaborating, Sagal and Morrow would die almost exactly the same way (struck by a helicopter's rotor blade)...within a year of each other, both while shooting a movie on location. For Sagal, it was World War III (1982); for Morrow, it was Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). |
| 7 | Personally thanked director John Landis for the opportunity to star in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). Morrow was excited about what turned out to be his final film, considering it a welcome change of pace from the myriad (and mostly-foreign) B-pictures he had been forced to fall back on during most of the 1970s. |
| 8 | Despite playing heavies before and since, plus Saunders in "Combat", Morrow disliked guns. This according to Combat Co-star Rick Jason, who said Vic turned down his offer to shoot skeet, by saying he "can't stand to kill clay" |
| 9 | At the time of his death, he had a pet dog named Macho. |
| 10 | His parents, Harry Morrow (Morozoff) and Jeanette Kress, were both Russian Jewish immigrants. |
| 11 | Interred at Hillside Memorial Park, Culver City, California, USA. |
| 12 | Killed, along with two Vietnamese child actors, in a freak accident on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) when a hovering helicopter crashed landed on top of them, in which the top rotor blades decapitated Morrow and one of the children, and crushing to death the second one. |
| 13 | Attented school in the bronx with producer Brandon Chase |
| 14 | Daughters, Carrie Ann Morrow (b. 1958) and Jennifer Leigh Morrow, (aka Jennifer Jason Leigh) (b. 1962). |
