- Bunny
- John Breckinridge 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 (1958) because he was a house guest of Paul Marco at the time the film was shooting, as was David De Mering, 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 in the Tim Burton film Ed Wood (1994). In his latter years, Bunny lived in New Jersey.
