Biography

Born in the pivotal year of 1944, a mere two years of age, he first burst onto the esteemed stage of Broadway in the remarkable production of "A Member of the Wedding", an inaugural performance that would forever leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all who witnessed it. This extraordinary debut did not go unnoticed, as the illustrious MGM studio took immediate notice of his prodigious talent, extending an invitation for him to join their ranks and venture to the vibrant city of Hollywood in the year 1946.

Throughout the subsequent five-year period, he embarked on a remarkable cinematic journey, starring in a string of notable feature films under the esteemed banner of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In tandem with his burgeoning film career, he skillfully managed to balance his formal education, leveraging the studio's innovative school program. This unique opportunity allowed him to rub shoulders with his peers, including a coterie of talented child stars who would go on to become icons of their era. Notably, he had the privilege of sharing the spotlight with the inimitable Elizabeth Taylor, whose remarkable talent and enduring legacy continue to captivate audiences to this day. He also had the pleasure of working alongside the multifaceted and accomplished Dean Stockwell, whose versatility and range have made him a beloved figure in the world of entertainment. Furthermore, he had the opportunity to collaborate with the luminous and charming Debbie Reynolds, whose effervescent personality and impressive talent have left an indelible mark on the film industry. Lastly, he shared the experience of being a child star with the talented and endearing Tommy Rettig, whose own unique brand of charm and charisma has endeared him to fans of all ages.

The burgeoning thespian, with a fervent passion for perfecting his artistry, was initially poised to join the prestigious ranks of Disney's iconic "Mousketeers", a coveted position that would have undoubtedly catapulted him to stardom.

Brad's younger sibling, Scotty Morrow, closely followed in his footsteps within the entertainment industry, distinguishing himself as a talented actor, with a plethora of notable film and television credits to his name. As Brad transitioned into adulthood, he embarked on a journey of theatrical discovery, featuring in stage productions of the iconic "West Side Story" and the powerful "The Diary of Anne Frank". However, his artistic pursuits eventually gave way to a new calling, as he redirected his focus towards the realm of business management, assuming the esteemed position of president at CII Premium Finance in Burbank from 1990 until his resignation in 1996, ultimately relinquishing his role due to health concerns.

The life of this remarkable person was regrettably cut short when he succumbed to the inescapable and irreversible fate of mortality on November 7, 1997, a day that will forever be seared into the collective consciousness and cherished memories of those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
