Vic
Morrow was born February 14, 1929 in the Bronx, New York, dropped
out of high school to join the Navy, and went back to school to study
law. While at college, he changed course and decided to pursue acting.
His acting career began in the fifties and ended with his tragic death
in the eighties.
These
are just some of the few facts one can find about Mr. Morrow. Do an
internet search and you’ll find a handful of short biographies,
pictures, and filmographies. Search the library and you can find him
mentioned in a couple of books - perhaps you’ll be lucky enough
to find some articles. I’ve found that what is out there often
portrays wildly differing views of the man. Who was the real Vic Morrow?
I don’t know. But I’ve enjoyed much of his work over the
years since he first made a fan of a little girl who loved to watch
Combat. And no matter where the truth lies, the truth is, Vic Morrow
was a very talented man. Here’s a salute to the actor, director,
writer, filmmaker – to Vic Morrow, the artist who wanted to paint
with all the colors - and to the colorful work he left us. |
