Talk:Vic Morrow

Advisory
Perhaps it would be prudent to add an advisory beside the linked to footage of the accident or at least a more explicit description. 68.89.218.58 (talk) 06:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Crushed or Decapitated?
John Landis Page: "During the filming of Twilight Zone, actor Vic Morrow was decapitated..."

Vic Morrow Page: "A helicopter being used on the set spun out of control and crashed, crushing him and both of the children, and severing Morrow's head and one of the children's head and arm with its rotor blades"

The autopsy reports show that Morrow and the boy were decapitated and the girl was crushed.


 * I just removed the bit about being crushed by the skids. The skids go nowhere near the three.  They are clearly killed by the blades.  See for yourself if you need to, or save yourself the trauma and take my word for it.(the accident video) Rklawton (talk) 05:12, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * So what do you say to the autopsy report, referred to above? That says the males were decapitated and the girl crushed. My suspicion is that an autopsy physician is a better source than the film clip (which I've seen many times but can't make out well enough to make such a judgment myself).

 * I won't argue with crushed. "Crushed" doesn't mean "crushed under the skids", which is what this article previously read.  Rklawton (talk) 13:22, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * A book about the tragedy details the injuries in detail and they have been added and referenced. I also removed about Spielberg being a defendant. God only knows how long that falsehood has been in this article. Coretheapple (talk) 22:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Religion?
Does anyone know what religion Vic Morrow was in, if any? Was he a christian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by --65.12.149.195 (talk) 13:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)65.12.149.195 (talk) 12:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The article states that he was raised in a Jewish family. - Jason A. Quest (talk) 00:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Career
Vic Morrow starred in a film called The Glass House, a Truman Capote story with Alan Alda. Morrow was a bad guy, an inmate boss in a prison. I don't know any details but I think it was early 70's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.41.92 (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

First wedding
Despite conflicting claims, Vic Morrow married Barbara Turner June 26, 1957, not in 1958. See Vic's IMDB bio and see Barbara Turner's wiki article. Cleftonefan (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, @Cleftonefan, that year of marriage in Barbara Turner (screenwriter) was unsourced. It appeared to have come from an article in The New York Times, but when I checked the article it did not mention when Turner and Morrow were married. Therefore, I removed it from the Turner article.
 * As for the IMDb article, that is not a reliable source for use in Wikipedia articles. (WP:IMDB) Eddie Blick (talk) 01:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
