While he was filming
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (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
Twilight Zone: The Movie (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?!".
