John Breckinridge

'John Breckinridge' (qv) was born August 6, 1903 into a wealthy family and descended from former U.S. Vice President John C. Breckinridge. He got the role of the Ruler in _Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)_ (qv) because he was a house guest of 'Paul Marco' (qv) at the time the film was shooting, as was 'David De Mering' (qv), who played copilot Danny. A serious auto accident prevented Breckinridge from getting a longed-for sex-change operation in Mexico. Plan 9 is his only screen appearance. He later was portrayed by 'Bill Murray' (qv) in the 'Tim Burton' (qv) film _Ed Wood (1994)_ (qv). In his latter years, Bunny lived in New Jersey.::Jonah Falcon (jonahnynla@mindspring.com)
