Vic Morrow(1929-1982)

While he was filming La indecente Mary y Larry el loco (1974) in 1973, he insisted on having a one million dollar life insurance policy before he would shoot any scenes involving the helicopter he was due to ride in. He was very insistent, and when asked why, Morrow replied "I have always had a premonition I was going to die in a helicopter crash!". As Morrow was waiting to film what would turn out to be the scene that killed him in En los límites de la realidad (1983), he said to a production assistant, "I must be out of my mind to be doing this. I should've asked for a stunt double. What can they do but kill me, right?!".

[on the success of his movie Semilla de maldad (1955)] "Sure, the reviews were great...but you would've thought they'd picked me up out of an ashtray, and made me a star. Hell, I'd already done Shakespeare and Chekhov and all those other cats."
