Early life and family
Morrow was born in the Bronx, (New York) to a middle class Jewish family,^[1] the son of Jean (née Kress) and Harry Morrow, an electrical engineer.^[2] When he was 17, Morrow dropped out of high school and joined the U.S. Navy. He married actress Barbara Turner with whom he had two daughters: actress Jennifer Jason Leigh and Carrie Ann Morrow. Morrow's marriage to Barbara lasted seven years and ended in divorce in 1964. He did not remarry until 1975, over a decade later, when he courted Gale Lester (currently Gale Morrow Butler). They were married for five years and were separated just prior to Morrow's death.
Morrow had a falling out with his daughter Jennifer Jason Leigh following his divorce from her mother; Leigh changed her last name as a teenager to avoid being publicly associated with Morrow. They remained estranged at the time of his death.

Q: What did you think of the two stars of Combat!, Vic Morrow and Rick Jason. I remember you saying Vic Morrow killed you in almost every episode.

On Combat!, the cast was excellent except for Vic Morrow. I think, because of Blackboard Jungle, he had a Brandoesque quality about him.
