Vic Morrow Tribute

Uploaded by: mikey73UK
Video Description:
A tribute to the actor Vic Morrow.
Morrow was born in the Bronx, New York to a middle class Jewish family. His father was an electrical engineer. Morrow dropped out of high school and joined the U.S. Navy at age 17.
Morrow's first movie role was in Blackboard Jungle (1955). After this movie, he went into television and was cast in the TV series Combat! (1962-1967), in which he also worked as a television director. After Combat! ended, he worked in made-for-TV movies and several films. Morrow appeared in two e
pisodes of Australian-produced anthology series The Evil Touch (1973), one of which he also directed. He memorably played the homicidal sheriff alongside Martin Sheen in the 1974 TV film The California Kid, and had a key role in the 1976 comedy The Bad News Bears. Morrow, along with two young child
ren My-Ca Dinh Le (aged 7) and Renee Shin-Yi Chen (aged 6), died on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1982). At the time of his death, Morrow was playing the role of Bill Connor, a bigot who was taken back in time and placed in various situations where he would be a persecuted victim: a Jewish Ho
locaust victim, a black man about to be lynched by the Ku Klux Klan, and a Vietnamese man about to be killed by United States soldiers. Vic Morrow, My-Ca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen were shooting a scene for the Vietnam sequence of Twilight Zone: The Movie. They were running from a pursuing hel
icopter. The helicopter was flying at a low level when pyrotechnic explosions caused the helicopter to lose control and crash on top of the three. Morrow and Le were both decapitated by the blades; Chen was fatally crushed underneath the helicopter's landing skid. The helicopter crew received minor
injuries. Morrow is interred in Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City, California.
