Height:	5' 9" (1.75 m)

Daughters, Carrie Morrow (b. 1958) and Jennifer Leigh Morrow, (aka Jennifer Jason Leigh) (b. 1962). Attented school in the bronx with producer Brandon Chase Killed, along with two child actors, on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie when a helicopter crashed and landed on top of them. Interred at Hillside Memorial Park, Culver City, California, USA. He appeared with Elvis Presley in King Creole. Was of Russian ancestry. At the time of his death, he had a pet dog named Macho. 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" Personally thanked director John Landis for the opportunity to star in Twilight Zone: The Movie. 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. The pilot episode of his TV series Combat!, 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; for Morrow, it was Twilight Zone: The Movie. His funeral was attended by Combat! co-stars Dick Peabody and Rick Jason...and by John Landis, who directed Morrow in Twilight Zone: The Movie. All three gave separate eulogies; Peabody also served as one of Vic's pallbearers.
