Stuntman Robert Drew Morgan married actress Yvonne De Carlo whom he met on the set of Shotgun, on November 21, 1955. They had two sons, Bruce Ross (b. 1956) and Michael (1957-1997).

Morgan also had a daughter, Bari Lee (b. 1947), from a previous marriage.

Morgan lost his left leg after being run over by a train while filming How the West Was Won (1962). However, his contract with MGM assumed no responsibility for the accident. De Carlo and Morgan filed a $1.4 million lawsuit against the studio, claiming her husband was permanently disabled.

They divorced in June 1974.
